    Mercenaries 2 Impressions

    I picked up M2 yesterday and have logged around 7 to 10 hours with the game. So far I like it, it's pretty true to the fist one as far as the whole structure of the game goes. My only complaint so far is I feel the graphics could be better. Anyway the game is a ton of fun.Was online with a friend last night playing for a while. If you like the 1st one you will most likely like this one.

    So far all I've done online was just me and one friend, no lag there.

    While we were checking it out on the show floor some random guy joined the game. That was pretty cool drop in for co-op! It didn't change anything in terms of how the game was playing.

    I only have about an hour into it, and so far it's about a C+ for me. I don't understand why developers put out games without a solid multi-player component these days, but that could be just me. If anyone wants to check out the random musings by Grant, here's his review of the game for our weekly deal on Maxim radio.

    I've never played the first one, but I'm really digging this one so far. It's like a mixture of Just Cause and GTA.

    Played quite a bit of coop with Dark. No lag problems for us. Game makes you stay within a certain distance of your partner. I.m enjoying the game, lots of big explosions, not a big fan of the cut scenes mostly skip them after playing a while. You do need to be a better driver than me on some of the missions, THANK YOU COOP BUDDY DARK. Sometime when you get into a large group of enemies & they get shooting those freaking rockets it's a little hectic & hard to stay alive.

    The dev that was playing the game was doing some amazing stuff. He was ejecting from one helicopter and then grappling on to another mid air. It was a blast just watching him.

    I'm finding this game a total blast to play, sorry Keezy that I stole the last copy. Need to get some co-op action going.

    LOL dude, it's really no problems. I picked up a copy on my drive home from the airport. It was one less thing to cram into my bag!

    Digging this one a lot. Haven't had much time to get into it, but played a bit with Keez before and had a good time blowing shit up. The coop is the best part, nothing beats killing innocent folks with a friend.

    I like it. I've been having a blast playing it with Wood. No lag issues that I've noticed. The only thing I have a problem with is the vehicles that pop up infront of you when you're going fast.

    Yes, the pop-in is a bit rough sometimes. It makes me feel drunk, like I'm drinking Unicorn Climax.

    Okay, I've been out of the loop on this one. What's the gameplay like for Mercenaries 2? I never played the first one, but you guys have me intrigued...

    I'm liking it also. The comparison to GTA and JUST CAUSE was a good one. It has elements of these games with less aggravation. Much better IMO. I have not tried the multiplayer yet.

    The random stuff the dev guy was doing reminded me of the fun I had in Crackdown. I am on the border of buying vs renting this one. I can see coop being a lot of fun.
