Sifting through some of the press kits that we took home from Leipzig, I ran across some info on Mercenaries 2. I remember seeing the game in action last year and I was thoroughly disappointed. The game looked absolutely drab, had clunky (though workable) controls and felt completely off.
Pandemic Studios too must have realized that their game didn't sparkle. Over the last year, they have tweaked and refined Mercenaries 2 to a point that it stood out like a candle in the night in EA's overcrowded booth last week. In many areas the game is now more vibrant in color which fits its over the top gameplay like a glove. It seemed to play a little faster too but that could have been 'adrenalin rush induced' from all the rampant action on the screen. I didn't get enough time with the game to write up a proper preview but from what I've seen, my rant from last year deserved at least an update. :)
