Mercenaries: 1st reviews show signs of greatness

GameSpy has dropped one of the first reviews for LucasArts & Pandemic's sure-to-be-a-sleeper- hit, Mercenaries.  5 Stars!  (Oddly, only 4.5 for the PS2 version)  Yes, the mysterious green guy liked what he saw.  And what did he see?  Stuff blowing up—a lot of stuff.  Yep, pretty much anything & everything.  But GameSpy assures us that the game adds depth and variety to go with the to-die-for physics engine & particle effects.  Be wise and don't sleep on Mercenaries.

[EGM ('87') & GMR Magazine ('80') chose more down-to-Earth scores.  So it's safe to say, the verdict is still out...]
