It's funny how varied people's opinions of Mercs2 are. I personally like it, in that I think it's fun. Sure, it's fucked up, repetetive missions, dumbass AI, and of course it has to be the glitchiest game I've ever heard of. But it still manages to be fun, especially playing coop with a friend. You've got to try coop.

It's because they are too busy advertising their film festival (fingers crossed FTW)

But I think this is truly back to form for Mr Croshaw... Good job

lol, he called airstrikes useless, I guess it's safe to say "You're doing it wrong!"

Anyway, this one was funny, and since the game is pretty much broken it doesn't really matter what is said about it.

yea this game was good... for this first day then it just got repetitive really quick for some reason, i had hopes for this game but i was sadly disapointed.

probly going to beat it get most of the achievements and trade it in to get get Far Cry 2 and Fable 2.

and that's another thing the achievements im missing like 7 achievements that i should have already gotten like tattooed millionaire (have 1 million dollars) i have 10 million and still don't have it. WTF!?

Haha! I'm glad to see you comment on the AI like that. You made some concrete statements there.

Bit sad he didn't go into the bugs a bit more, cause it's buggy like hell


You hijack a boat (ok), then you decide you don't want it (still ok) you push the button to exit the vehicle... and suddenly your standin in the cabin. It was amusin for 2 seconds since it's the only way to ever be able to walk around in the cabin.....just sad you can't get out..EVER!
A helicopter lands on your head (huh) suddenly you stand in it and can't get out

But i liked it, better then part one... more to blow up, and who cares the mission are repetetive, i had loads of fun annihalatin one outpost after another...


if they got rid of the bugs, slightly more different missions and did somethin bout that aim, improved the sound part.. it would have been great

I actually love the game with its pointless destruction, funny bugs, sticking C4 on moving buses and badly placed one liners like falling 200feet and your character will say "Just a scratch."

Thank you Yahtzee for removing those horrible ads and other crap at the end no one ever watched. Could we get some more Intro Sequence Theater?

I don't think he put those there.

I found Mercenaries 2 to be very Funny and Destructive in most cases, but to be honest I don't know why people would complain about it having a Story to it because games like this don't have a Story. Plus you left out the Devestator "AKA the pink bike".

Also if you were implying that Saints Row sucked for most reasons then I dont blame you, but if your smart like me you would know that they were setting you up to have doub't for Saints Row 2, yet when it comes out on the 16 you will find it to be the best game you ever played.

BTW, open world games are the future and we should be looking foward to them.

Nothing as instantly memorable as "hammer of wank" was (or maybe that's just me), but good nontheless.

ZP is actually one of the more consistent video series on the Internet. Which isn't saying much, but it is a genuine compliment.

Excellent, as always - I'm curious about 3:42 too - is your flatmate doing something untoward in the background?

I think Yahtzee delivers his best reviews depending on the material he has in hand. This is a clear example of it.
