    Mercenaries 3D is a perfectly fine game. The underlying mechanics are a lot of fun and the new characters, maps and Skill system make it a more robust offering than anything that’s been on a console. But even these additions don’t justify the hefty pricetag, and with no online leaderboards to spur further playing, we suspect most will move on not long after the five-hour game is complete.

    Even though the visuals are particularly strong, it would seem that a development shortcut that has been taken means that if you shoot enemies within the distance, the animation is limited to a slideshow where each direct hit causes them to immediately change posture without movement. It’s hard to describe, yet those that pick up the game will be sure to see what I mean.

    An accurate port of the Resident Evil Mercenaries minigame - and that's all it is. An entertaining arcade experience, but lacking in depth. It's worth your money if you're a big Mercenaries fan or want a polished arcade shooter to kill five minutes with occasionally, but don't expect much beyond that.

    ...but wading together into a throng of the undead, guns blazing and fists flying, leaving a trail of dissolving bodies in your wake, is without question a grisly pleasure.

    Really hard to put down, even though it makes our palms all sweaty and gives us horrible dreams about chainsaw men. You've got to play this - it's great.
