I played the demo for this game and I have never seen more freedom in a game before. If you like to "blow stuff up", this is the game for you. It is simply perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS GAME IS GREAT!!!

This game is not as violent as i thought it would be. I think James Bond is more violent. But that didnt put me off this game. It is a amazing game with fully accesible enviroments, and a whole lot of vehicles that you can ride around in. I recommend this game for everyone.

One excellent first-person shooting game!

Mercenaries takes place during the North Korean and Allied Nations war. North Korea is controlling nuclear missiles in hopes of being the most dominant country. Allied Nations, including South Korea, China, the US, the UK, France, Germany, Japan, and Russian Mafia, are focused on destroying the leader of the North Koreans, General Choi Song. Trying to help the fight, ExOps, a professional mercenary service, sends one mercenary to take out Song and any nuclear weapons.

You get the choice to play as either Chris Jacobs, Jennifer Mui, or Mattias Nilsson. Each mercenary has a unique talent. Fiona Taylor provides you with information, sending many e-mails. The Allied Nations have set up the Deck of 52. This includes the 52 most dangerous North Koreans. Fiona tells you the possible location of them. Capture them and get tons of money. Use money to purchase vehicles, air strikes, and supplies. Drive to more then 10 provinces, each controlled by different factions and in some cases, civilians.

In Mercenaries, you get to work for the Allies, the Chinese, the South Koreans, and the Russian Mafia. Accept contracts from them to try to improve your relationship with their faction. Control over 30 different vehicles, including cargos, tanks, scouts, anti-air, and artillery. Have your allies join you in the vehicle. Fly in 14 helicopters. Or just hijack civilian vehicles. Control turrets, artillery, and much more. But cross a restricted zone and you're toast.

Use stealth to complete missions given to you from the factions. Stun enemies, knock them out, or just go on a rampage. It's your choice as you hunt down the evil Song, in an attempt to save the lives of millions. This game is definitly worth buying. One of the best first-person shooting games ever made.

Mercenaries --- Just one word "AWSOME"

Go anywhere and blow up anything!! This one will be hours and hours of fun. The explosions are fantastic. You get to choose from one of the three characters but it does not mater too much since all three are the same. They do not have any thing special. The game has a GTA feel in the roam around enviroment.No multi-player action but maybe in the next one.

AWESOME

From the moment i started this game, i've had trouble putting it down. This is as close to a perfect third person shooter as you're going to get. Of course the biggest plus in the game is the freedom, you choose what contracts (missions) you go on, who you ally yourself with, and so on. The more contracts you complete, the more money you have, and you'll want to spend it on anything from supply drops to vehicle shipments to awsome air strikes and artillary attacks. The only thing missing from the game is the ability to command your freindy troops like in Freedom Fighters, because there is a lot of running around by yourself, but that's the biggest down part, and that's not too bad. I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed GTA, Hitman, or even games like shellshock nam because the game has a strong war feeling to it as well.

Next best thing to GTA

Opening Comment: This game relates to GTA (Grand Theft Auto) in many ways. First, you can hijack ANY vehicle in the game. Second, you go on missions to earn money. And third, the map is HUGE.

Pros:

- Three different characters
- Many vehicles
- Tons of contracts
- Four different groups
- Many destructible items
- The map is HUGE

Cons:

- Not too many guns (No pistols)
- AI isn't very smart (They can't even shoot straight)
- Its got good graphics, but they could be better (Their like Freedom Fighters)
- Not as fun as expected (Needs more action)

Ending Comment: Overall, a good rental. It should be worth $20 - $40.
