Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Exclusive Review!!!

Features of Mercenaries 2 include an online co-operative mode, a fire effects engine that allows the player to ignite material such as foliage and trees, and the ability to swim. Although a player can set fire to foliage, it has been said by developers that one can not spread a fire across the entire map. Pandemic recently upgraded to the Havok 5.5 physics engine[4]. To complement the new swimming mechanic, new vehicles such as boats have been added.[5] Hijacking still plays a large role in gameplay, but instead of being a fixed cinematic, now consists of a small minigame with difficulty relative to the worth of the vehicle being hijacked. A grappling hook has been added to allow the player to hijack helicopters. Another new feature is the ability to switch from driver to gunner at will. Players have the ability to build a Private Military Company and recruit mercenaries with it. There are three mercenary NPCs that may be recruited: Eva Navarro (a mechanic); Ewan, a helicopter pilot who has the ability to pick up valuable objects you may encounter and also extract you to various unlockable locations if necessary; and Mischa, a bomber pilot, who can be hired as your source for airstrikes.

The game has been criticized by the Venezuelan government, accusing the U.S. government of trying to drum up support from the American public for a real-life invasion with the purpose of overthrowing Hugo Chávez.[8] Pandemic Studios had previously developed training aids for the US Army. In response to the criticism, the official Mercenaries 2 website includes the following disclaimer, "Pandemic Studios is in the business of entertainment. It has not been contacted by a U.S. government agency concerning the development of Mercenaries 2. All persons, storylines and events are purely fictional and bear no relation to real events. As with any number of games, movies and books, the decision to choose interesting events and locations is purely designed to tell a compelling story, as well as provide a fun and rich experience for the gamer."

1 more bad thing, if your in any vehicle that's on the road, and you run into a giant tree, it just falls over, even with bike, but the tree repels a helicopter, overall though the game is great, and I love tbevstorylining
