Is Mercs 2 even worth playing? I heard it was a buggy mess?

irrelevant console answer: If you have a buddy to play with, I would say the game is a blast, pun intended. With the patches it's awesome how much stuff you can blow up and in so many ways.
pc answer: Don't have it, but I don't think it has any of the DLC, I heard it was a buggy mess as well, and there have been better deals for around 5 bucks this holiday, I'm sure there will be more. However, still worth it if you have a buddy to play with.
