It wasn’t until we realised that we had to tag items and throw a smoke grenade in order to call our guy in that we were able to pick up the valuable resources scattered throughout the large map. For a good while we were tagging items and our pilot wasn’t budging from his comfy seat back at HQ.

The game simply doesn’t make what you’re meant to be doing very clear. Take the way your helicopter pilot is called in to pick up tagged items that you find. The way missions are handled and explained verges on terrible, with the game doing its best to confuse you before you’ve had a chance to get to grips with what you’re meant to be doing. These early missions which see you having to complete favours for people are among the worst in the game and get things off to an extremely poor start. You need a mechanic, a helicopter pilot and a fighter jet pilot to work alongside yourself and an operations overseer who remains at her computer and occasionally offers info on your current mission. Sadly there are plenty of dull moments and numerous annoying problems.Īt the start of the campaign your primary goal is to recruit members for your new company. It’s similar to the kind of stuff you were doing in the original game and should in theory make for exciting gameplay that never provides a dull moment. These missions vary from taking out single targets to blowing up massive buildings. They take on dangerous missions for big money, usually from the five leading factions in the country (The People’s Liberation Army of Venezuela and Universal Petroleum appear early on, with the Rastafarian Pirates, the Chinese Army, and the Allied Nations arriving later in the game). Mattias regenerates health at a faster rate, Chris carries extra ammo and Jennifer runs faster, but the storyline remains more or less the same no matter who you choose.

Mercs 2 sees you playing as one of three mercenaries (Mattias Nilsson, Chris Jacob and Jennifer Mui), working in Venezuela (a country on the northern coast of South America) setting up a private military company. With an army of fans and a fair amount of hype we had expected Mercs 2 to rank up there with the most entertaining games of the year, but numerous gameplay issues and technical problems have made for a game that doesn’t feel as good as the first game did on its release in 2005.
MERCENARIES 2 PC PROBLEMS PS2
The original Mercenaries on PS2 and Xbox proved to be a highly entertaining sandbox action game that differed from GTA thanks to developer Pandemic’s focus on destruction. Despite suffering from numerous delays that pushed it from a late 2007 to Q3 2008 release window, Mercenaries 2 has been high on the most wanted list for a lot of gamers.
