I don't think the game is super good or anything. But I did have fun playing bits of it.
Awesome review, though. XD

Finally no adverts at the end, the Escapist has learnt its lesson. Also the reviews are gonna get good as a massive line of highly anticipated games to be praised or (more likely) destroyed are coming out.

Merc's 2 is the most broken game I've ever played. At one point I was just driving along and suddenly fell through the ground. My char fell over and over in limbo and I had to reset my whole system to fix it.

If you were gone I would have nothing to watch! These videos are hilarious and keep getting better. (Did anyone else notice this one was shorter than usual though?)

I rented Mercenaries 2 from my local Movie Gallery when it was first released, and I have to say it was a complete waste of time and money. While Yahtzee was dead on in picking out the game's faults (which in my opinion the game's existence in itself should be considered a fault), it still felt like he was going rather easy is on it. I suppose there is only so many times you can verbally abuse shit, I.E. games like this, before it gets a tad monotonous. Disregarding the absence of aggression, his review was very sound and thorough and I give it a big thumbs up as always.

Keep up the good work Yahtzee

loved the bit about the soldiers falling off the hele-pad and dying straight away beings described as "unhelpful, but fucking funny"

And "Cloth-eared Nonce" brilliant insult.

This one was actually pretty long (for ZP standards of course). With credits almost 5 mins. The longest was the "Yahtzee goes to GDC" video with about 6 mins and the shortest about 3 min 47 seconds.

Anyway very funny review Yahtzee but please review SW:TFU (maybe it's no even released in australia?)

i was wondering why the intro and end got stuck with the crap music instead of picking 2 sings that have a similarity about them and using those as intro and outro songs?

i agree. tho i guess it's a bit of a chore considering that so many games have the same themes now.
I mean how many obviously war themed songs are there?

It's because of copyright issues.

I kinda enjoyed the game, but yes, there were things that pissed me off, and those were the things you pointed out :p good review I'd say.

What the hell is that sound in the background, at 3:42 right after he says "broken game gets to fuck off!"

Sounds like someone.. wheezing.
