I am not going to go into too much detail about the original aside from mentioning it was a lot like the GTA games with a LOT more things to blow up. Also, for me, it was a lot more fun. Well, as fans already know, the sequel is almost upon us. Here are a list of some of the features you will find in the game:
Cooperative Multiplayer!- Play the main Mercenaries 2 campaign with the help of your friends. Jump in and out of a game at any time!
Enhanced Destruction! - Bring buildings teaming with enemy soldiers down section by section, topple an overpass with C4 to stop an oncoming enemy vehicular assault, fire off an RPG at a balcony and watch as it crashes on unsuspecting enemies below – in Mercenaries 2, destruction isn't just cool to look at, you can use it to your advantage!
A massive, reactive, and completely unscripted game world! - The world of Mercenaries 2 is larger than all of the maps of the previous Mercenaries combined and is jam-packed full of colorful characters and environments.
Build your own Private Military Company! - Increase and customize your support options by recruiting other mercenaries you meet in the game!
A Mercenaries' Paradise! - Each faction has plenty of work for you, from small pick-up jobs to elaborate, multi-objective missions. The world of Mercenaries 2 offers over one hundred unique tasks you can take on – if you're interested.
Tired of driving? - Take over landing zones in the world and instantly travel from place to place!
If you can't beat them, steal from them! - Don't want to pay for a Bunker Buster? No problem – every faction has tons of fuel and munitions just waiting for the "resourceful" mercenary to acquire. Just make sure that Bunker Buster doesn't blow up when you start getting shot at!
No Deadly Water! - Don't worry about drowning ever again: use watercraft or swim to traverse the oceans, rivers and lakes of Mercenaries 2.
Cool new toys! - Dozens of weapons, vehicles and support options are available for to use to blow the crap out of everything! Use the new grappling hook to latch on to flying vehicles and commandeer them in the sky!
Work for the highest bidder! - Clients will offer you money, information and other resources in exchange for your services – provided you haven't done anything to piss them off!I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about the introduction of some of these features, including the co-op multiplay. Check out any of the two sites listed below for more detailed information, more screenshots and video.

I've never tired out the first but this one looks pretty groovy.

The first was one my all-time favorite games on my Xbox and probably saw the most playtime out of all the games I had. Seeing the see additions, plus the next-gen graphics has me adding this game in the top 5 of my most anticipated games this year.

The sandbox style game engine is what has me interested. I like games that don't seem like they are set on rails. It makes the experience more immerseful and shows me that the programers really did their job.
