Anybody getting it?
Anybody played the demo?
Gets excellent reviews across the board but I haven't seen that much blurb about it or hype.

You have to complete about 12 missions before your map opens up

I'm not convinced it's bigger than Vice City - it doesn't take very long to drive around the map.
But it's big enough.
But it's big enough.
Exactly, killing everyone is easy, the challenge as tilt said is the bonuses and capturing everyone alive. Trying to do all the aces is quite hard!
Size wise, bigger than Vice city, as there are two large maps to explore, and each ace seems to be on a separate mini map also!

He's talking about the city areas which take up a very small part of the map. When you look at how much land space there is to explore, it's easily bigger than Vice City and I've heard there's a 2nd map to unlock which is as big as the first which means the game's absoloutly fooking huge.
Oh and difficulty varies on how you play it. Try doing some of the levels in stealthy, going for the bonus objectives and taking the cards alive then it's pretty damn challenging at times.
If you go in though with the sole idea of bombing the s*** out of everything then it won't really be too difficult.

I'm finding Mercenaries too easy. Is there only that one map which the game starts on or can you unlock more?
A lil tip incase you didn't know, Try levelling a whole town by placing multiple C4's. Lay one then just re-select C4 again in the menu and when you've laid about 10 which i think is the max, just press the detonator once and watch the buildings fall and the bodies fly.

I'm getting confused, Tilta is saying it's much bigger than Vice City whereas someone else said it was about the size of one of the GTA3 Islands.
:S
:S
Mmmmm Carpet bombs..... tried laying a few down last night.
Stand well back!

16 or so types of airstike...
just got the sniper rifle airdrop, kill without being seen brilliant fun.
nothing beats standing on the multistory car park, laser designating the airports air command centre, then watching through the binoculars as it tilts to one side and crumples to the floor shaking the screen as it goes.
take that china, for your shoddy made plastic toys

Aye, it's fantastic. Still can't believe how good it looks, even when there is quite a lot happening.

Mercenaries. Utterly brilliant.
I've got the PS2 version, due my my Xbox being out of commision while I waited for the new power lead. Brilliant, nevertheless.
