This is the first mission of the game and gives the basics of the storyline.

Things I noticed:

-First weapon they give you is a grenade launcher!
-The ability to call in airstrikes is introduced right away.
- The ability to call in vehicles is also introduced right away.
- The large chunks of the wall left over from the airstrike didn't just dissappear but actually stayed around as physics objects that could damage you if they hit you or block your path if they fall in the way etc...at the same time its obvious a lot of other pieces did vanish before the dust settled.
- The game seems to use QTE's in a few areas like getting in vehicles and in some airstrikes...not my favorite way to handle it, but hopefully it won't be too prevalent.

Some good, some bad, but in total it looks pretty good so far, I'm looking forward to going on a rampage to get paid =)

PS - There are a lot more of these on youtube that appear to go beyond the first mission if you don't mind spoilers. 

Nobody interested in this game? I figured the overuse gratuitous explosions would be more appealing to folks than this =P

Looks good... Paid rampages are always a plus.
I'm the first person to reply (or care i guess...)

I really enjoyed Mercs 1 and this looks like more mindless fun. My 360 should be back from the repair center tomorrow and this is the first thing Im buying for it. Been going through DT's this should be a good fix.

Just found the launch trailer:



Awesome song....and the trailer is pretty good too =P
