Mercenaries 2 on PS2: Worst Pop-In Ever

How bad are the graphics for Mercenaries 2 for the PlayStation 2? How about bridges that don’t pop in until you’re at the edge of the crevasse? Buildings that suddenly appear out of nowhere? Skies that change color at will?
Sometime, publishers will have to admit that multiplatform doesn’t always mean including an old, woefully dated console.
(Thanks, GamesRadar.)

wow, I’d consider that nigh unplayable… If all you have is a PS2 and you want this game it’s probably best to do without

It really is a tragedy when games are published at such an awful state like this. It really takes the wow! factor out of games for the audience.

I remember when playing the first one mine started doing stuff like that but it was because my PS2’s lens needed to be cleaned not because the game itself was the problem. I wonder if that was the problem in this case or if it is just the game itself this time.

It’s the game itself. They had a plastic wrapped store copy sent to them by EA.
