A Mercenaries 2 Commercial

As an Xbox 360 player, I anticipate certain new games. I don’t get as wrapped up in the world of gaming as much as when I was in high school, for example, but certain games I find to be pretty entertaining.

Replayability

Mercenaries (on the Xbox in my situation) was a game that I found to be very replayable. The replayability mostly stemmed from the fact that I wasn’t good enough to step through the game easily. Even though I played it a lot, I never beat the original Mercenaries.

So I guess maybe not replayable in the sense that I played the game several times. More replayable in the sense that it took me a very very long time to progress through it.

In fact, it was about 2 years of playing Mercenaries before I finally got far enough though it that I found out there is a completely different map and area of the game that you play in during the second half of the game. It was like getting to play a sequel 2 years later, only it was the second half of the game I never had played my way to.

For me, this new Mercenaries 2 that is coming out for Xbox and Playstation 3 (and probably some other systems) is actually Mercenaries 3.

What a story, huh?

Anyways, I’m excited about the new Mercenaries 2. It looks like fun. I hope there is some good online action, the Mercenaries concept seems like a great fit for online play.

Here’s the commercial for the upcoming Mercenaries sequel, kinda interesting.
