Get revenge, of course. And so you embark on a rather brief adventure to bring Solano down. The big surprise twist is that there is no surprise twist. Venezuela is in the midst of rebellion, with oil the central focus of the conflict.
The Venezuelan army is doing its best to maintain control of the country, but there are a number of factions looking to take control. Each faction has its own set of missions and each, in some way, will get you closer to Solano.
Of course, none of these guys get along and often a mission in support of one faction involves doing harm to another. Now it arrives at a time when we expect more. You see, like Just Cause, Mercenaries 2 is an open world third-person action adventure with most of the emphasis on action.
It shares a similar Tropical South American setting — here a not too flattering caricature of Venzuela — crammed with jungle, beach and mountain scenery, and involves playing several establishment, criminal and revolutionary factions off against each other by tackling missions and taking over outposts. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. Objects and even people hovering in mid air are not an uncommon sight, either.

If you happen to own an Xbox controller, the game becomes a flawed, lunatic masterpiece. Mercenaries 2 kicks off with you doing a job for Roman Solano, a Venezuelan businessman, who asks you to free his friend, a general.
On executing this tutorial mission, you're double-crossed and thrown penniless and hungry for revenge, right into the middle of a military coup. Solano is taking control of a country full of oil - cue a weak quasipolitical plot full of stereotypical characters and political statements about as complex and controversial as "Aren't oil companies bastards? They each approach situations in a slightly different way, but for the most part your goal in any mission is to bring down a ton of ordnance onto particular targets.
You gain missions from different factions, be it Universal Petroleum generic American oil company , the People's Army of Venezuela the country's generic rebellious military types , or any of the other generic stereotypes. Their story-based missions usually boil down to blowing up a particular building, taking control of an outpost, or assassinating someone that is highlighted on the map screen.
As a mercenary, you can attack these missions however you want to. If you have a sniper rifle, you're able to assassinate a target from across a hill, and it's wonderfully satisfying to do so.

One of the most wonderful things about the game is how it really does let you finish a mission how you want to, even if it makes it a lot easier or more explosive. Even better is the contemporary orchestral soundtrack, which gives everything that edge of epic combat. Playing the game is like being in a high-budget action movie with explosions, cliches and stereotypes galore.
You're paid with two currencies: money and oil. The black stuff can be picked up once you recruit a chopper pilot, and used to pay for the delivery of supplies, air strikes and vehicles.
You spend your cash on bribes to get on the good side of factions if, for example, you blew up Universal Petroleum's CEO with a jeep bomb and need to make up , supplies, or extensions to your oil storage. This micro-management is fairly low-maintenance, and at times can even add a little adventure to the proceedings when you decide to nick a gigantic oil canister, rather than blowing it up. Ultimately though, Mercenaries 2 is repetitive.
