Mercenaries, great game the gameplay is excellent the fact that you get to blow stuff up is so cool that is why i bought it. But their is a fine line between a ball of fire and an explosion or an implosion. Mercenaries takes place in North Korea with a full deck of bad guys to knock out which is cool but is it really necssary? The missions though cool could have been expanded a bit more. and WHAT no nukes that reeks what is a game like this without nukes. The good thing about this game is its sense of humor so far unmatched. although it is fun to drive enemy vechicles into the water or cliffside. overall good but if you want explosions then get Star wars rogue squadron rebel strike. Nough said.

The addicting blowing up game this is Mercenaries!

this game is a pretty fun game. i brought home from work one day to try it out, and expected to just have some mindless, blow-stuff-up fun, and that is exactley what i got. you start out as a mercenary dropped in the middle of north korea, and you have to build up alliances with the South Koreans, Allies, the chinese, and the russian mob. the russian mob has a website that you access through your pda, and you can order supplies pretty much whenever, wherever, which i thought was pretty cool. you can steal any vehicle in this game, which is fun, and if you beep the horn, your allies will jump on board and you can go fight some NKs. this is definatly a good rental or a game to look for used. i dont know if its really worth more than 40 bucks, so i would wait for a price drop.

A New Version of GTA Type Game

This Game Could be called GTA in North Korea. But that would be an understatement. What this game does is put the Best Aspects Of GTA and adds a ton of features for a war game. You have the ability to call in airstrikes, Supply and AMMO Drops, Pickup for the captured Terrorists, and the variety of destructable objects is unlimited.If you see it, you can destroy it. You go on several misSions working for different factionS such as the russians, chinese, mafia, south korea to build up both your bankroll and status so you can buy more weapons and supplies. The controls get some getting used to as not all of the controls handle the same on all Vehicles that can make things confusing.
As for the negatives except for a Sound glitch on the shotgun weapon , where you simply do not have any sound what so ever, there really are none .THIS SEEMS TO BE A BUG ONLY ON THE PS2 GAME ONLY. Overall this game is great as far as an action 3rd person shooter. If you loved GTA You won't be dissapointed.

Nice!

This game reminded me pretty much of SOCOM. Similar graphics, the guys look the same, except SOCOM didn't have vehicles, a great arsenal of weapons, or a great story. Mercenaries has it all. Mercenaries is involved with ExOps, and you take the role of one of 3 characters. You do basic military missions; basically seek and destroy, or seek and capture. And since you are a mercenary, you get money for all the missions you do, which are mainly capturing terrorists. This is an action filled game, and it's a heck of a lot of fun, but there is a bug i found so far, and that's when you are in a vehicle and you are under a very narrow bridge or maybe ceiling of a building, you can't see anything but the inside of the building, and it's kinda frustrating. That and the camera angles are a hastle. Anyways like i said, this is a fantastic game, but like most games, it would be an awesome game if it had multiplayer and/or online play! But it doesn't matter; with the action in this game you don't care if it's online or multiplayer...the only thing you're concerned about is your current mission.

Mercenaries revolutionizes the art of gaming. This game has almost everything to offer, from blowing up towering buildings and luxurious cars to hijacking cars such as city buses and driving them all over the incredible world of Mercenaries. If you don't buy this game, I don't know what's wrong with you, but it's gotta be something serious!!!

You may think this game is an ordinary "shoot 'em up game", well it's not. There is heavy artillery fire, sniper rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and bombs. Plus, there are tanks, trucks, helicopters, etc. My favorite part is when you get paid to kill someone. Those are the reasons I really enjoy playing this game.

really freaking fun

I have to say this is probably one of my all time favorite video games because you get the freedom to do what you want with few acceptions you can get a rocket launcher and unlimited ammo and health (yes i'm a cheater) you can be a maniac driver with C4s on the hood of your car and just for fun blow helicopters out of the sky with stingers and anti tank rockets (only for bulky choppers) Where else can you get an AK-47 and then switch it to a full blown 12.7mm anti armor rifle? I have some problems like the game doesn't like my good controller so I have to use on that sticks and some times you have to get transported when you get stuck in a say oh I don't know a cargo ship but over all a 18/10 would be my rating and I hated all of the GTA's

FABULOUS game :-)

I just love this game. My brother and I bought it about a year ago and have played it many many times since. First, for a game on the ps2, the graphics aren't to bad. They might not be what they could be but hey, I didn't spend months proggraming this thing. There's lots of detail too, like if you run into something, your car gets a dent. Also there's a damage meter so you know when your car is going to explode. My best friend and I don't really play the game like your supposed to. We mainly just hijack cars, run down civilans, and drive busloads of the russian mafia off bridges. But when you play the game like you're supposed too, the basic storyline is there is a bunch of north korean terrorists with nukes and you have to kill a bunch of officers till the big one. They're labeled like cards, i.e. the 2 of clubs, the king of hearts. The aces are the generals or bosses. As you work your way up to killing the head honcho, you get better things you can buy. Tanks, cars, helicopters, chinese fuel trucks (oh yah baby!) and supply drops that are brought to you via helicopter when you need ammo, health, c4, etc.

Overall, this is a fun not to challenging game with an good storyline and graphics that is unbelieveably fun. Hence the title, everything is destructable!MWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best game ever!

Do you like explosions? Hell, I sure do! Mercenaries is a game full of explosions. Blow up a bridge, blow up a car, blow up an office block. If your bored, blow up a city. Not only this, but the music rocks.

Buy it now, you'll thank me later. I've had it for years, never gets boring.
