Hi Gang,
This is my first game review and as you gathered from the
title it’s based on the game Mercenaries 2 for the Xbox360.
I played the first mercenaries game for the Xbox, which I loved.
Pandemic has taken the Mercenaries series to an entirely new
level with this one. The game
features a wide open space in Venezuela.
Also it should be well noted that the depth of the game has grown greatly, almost everything in this environment in interactive. The landscape breaks and blows up based on your gun play get in a tank or a chopper and let loose, and watch everything blow up. The physics are done quite well, although the street vehicles are a tad off, it’s not really an issue.
 I noticed several exploding physics issues that modern gamers will most likely be aware of, for the new comers this means a model in the game world will fly off unexpectedly. But this is common with modern games and I give a pass to Pandemic.

Now let’s talk about what Pandemic has done with the multiplayer on this game.
I have to say this game has the best multiplayer co-op I’ve ever played.
No XBOX360 game can actually top this game in co-op arena, I fired up the game and let my game be known to EA’s servers and within minutes a buddy was in the game playing with me. This is truly seamless co-op. I really think this is the future of gaming. This is so much cooler than everyone gathering in a staging room then starting your typical death match.
I’m quite sure Valve will take this to the next level with Left For Dead, as they are working with the same seamless co-op concept.
Overall I give Mercenaries 2 World in Flames a 7

The multiplayer is awesome but I feel the single player campaign falls down in a couple points with repetitive game play.
If you want a fun game experience with an
open environment, and the best co-op game play to date, then get ready to throw
down in this game.
