EA Pandemic's open world blaster Mercenaries 2: World In Flames will be treated to a PSN demo this Thursday, according to Eurogamer.

An Xbox Live demo was scheduled for release last Friday, but EA fluffed that one up somehow. Serves them Xboxers right, eh?

World In Flames boasts a vast and largely destructible South American environment, non-linear mission-based play and plenty of good ole' wholesome weaponry. Expect a review from us in the not-too-distant future.

    I loved the first game, and pre-ordered the 2nd depite the luke-warm reviews, assuming that even if it was the same game with better graphics, I'd still enjoy it.

     

    I was wrong.

     

    I feel like I've done nothing much so far, and am apparently almost halfway through. And despite all the fancy weapons and airstrikes, I've done everything with 2 weapons - C4 and Artillery Strikes. Except one mission which required a Bunker Buster.

     

    The game feels soulless and repetitive. Over all, it's very disappointing. I'm just ploughing through it as quick as I can to sell it on or trade it in... but to be honest, I'm struggling to be bothered. I may just sell/trade without finishing it.

    the 1st one was good. the second is funny but not better than the 1st for me, the differences are better graphics n more weapons, missons and vehicles.

    I never played the 2nd one but I loved the 1st but now I don't think I will get the second one. Same old same old and I think unlike the 1st the 2nd isn't as revoluntionary these days. I am saving my money for red faction 3 now that will be revolutionary in terms of destructible enviroments.

    I will give the demo a try but I won't buy it.

    you guys are so cynical "LIKE OMFG its not better than the first or doesn't offer anything new!!" get over yourselfs its a great game, and the story is much better than the first one. ONly flaw is the very unreliable PMCs, a Deck of 52 would've helped but then again in this one your on your own not with the pmc

    Everyone should try this, oh and also the % completed stat is scary but things increase by less and less the more u geet into the game. Once u can buy the nuclear bunker buster (from mechanic for those that dont know), the games replay value increases massively. Who can say no to nuking AN(us) headquaters.
