Contractual Obligations - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PC, Xbox 360, PS3) Review

Contractual Obligations

As you progress through the game, your mercenary will encounter several rival factions, all with jobs for the taking. Mercenaries 2 is all about the cash you'll get for completing your objectives and the factions have a lot of it. Much like in GTA4, keeping these factions in your good graces will prove to be extremely lucrative. With each new mission you complete, additional supplies become available to you. However, since many of these missions involve damage to the other factions, maintaining a balance can be quite difficult. Even so, making amends with those who turn against you is as easy as completing another mission for them.

Mission styles in the game are surprisingly limited. The bulk of them consist of capturing enemy outposts in order to gain territory for the factions who employ your merc. However, the game does make an attempt to break up the monotony by offering a few alternatives, such as escort missions, racing challenges, and other outlying side quests. Capturing outposts is a fairly simple task early on. Players simply arrive at the targeted destination and take on enemy stronghold that occupies it, then call in a strike team to enter and capture the main structure within. While this can be done by running and gunning alone, additional supplies that can be purchased at captured outposts will prove to be worthy assets.
