Description

This release of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames differs from the other versions in several significant aspects. As opposed to the other releases, it uses the graphics engine from its predecessor Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Although the background story and basic gameplay remain the same, this version features about forty exclusive side-missions, has no co-operative play and takes place on a much smaller map.
