"Mercenaries"

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.

Only bad point I can think of is there's no custom soundtracks.

But that's not a major problem as the in game music goes well with the action.

Might pick this up, any bad points? Seems to be a sleeper hit!

Just started playing this.
Have begun to work with Russian Mafia but annoyed them by placing C4 on their building and reducing it to rubble.

At the moment, imagine a war-based GTA3 type game where you can demolish the buildings if you want to.
Haven't reached very far at all, but Apollo Creed & Gaer Grimsruud from Fargo as voice talent bodes well.

When in a helicopter, press down on the D-Pad to lower a magnet. You can pick up most small cars with it, and it's especially fun if you rotate the analogue stick around so that the car picks up some momentum, then release it and watch it fly.

Did my first Ace Contract last night. Was good but one of the solider I was going around with decided to shoot the Ace Card so I got half the price of what I would have had for taking him in alive.

Stupid tw@t!

I now have Bunker Busters on tap, shame they're so fooking expensive.

Oh and I unlocked Han Solo along with a few other characters which was cool.

Might rent this one then.

What happens when you get out of a chopper really high up, do you get a parachute or do you just land on the tarmac like a lump of strawberry jam?

They're actually really good considering the size of the area, although there is a bit of fogging when you're flying the helicopter. But to be honest the game's just so enjoyable it'll hardly bother you.

hell, it works for me.

fingers crossed for a bit of gore and easter eggs.

free roaming is definatly the genre I like!
