So, the story got finished, but I’m still playing. I decided to go around destroying, killing and capturing all the little green icons on the map.

A botched attempt to quietly kidnap a Universal Petroleum led to them hating my guts, so I had to destroy buildings occupied by the Venezuelan army to get them back on side. Then I attempted to kidnap an army general for the guerillas, which nearly went okay, but the helicopter I called in to come

Do you miss the halcyon days of 2005, when every 360 game looked like an upscaled PS2 game? Well then rejoice! You can relive that era with Mercenaries 2, now available in shops! I’m glad I’m not a reviewer, because objectively and technically the game’s all a bit rubbish. Looks like an upscaled PS2 game,
