War is ugly, but the battlefield feels like home.....

User Rating: 8.9 | Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction XBOX
This is a very good game. The moment you start playing the atmosphere of the war taking place pulls you in. The sound of gunfire and explosions in the background, the factions shooting at each other, hovering helicopters, and a huge war torn map to travel through. It all keeps you involved. The game is obviously inspired by grand theft auto, but it stays its' own game. Just about everything is destructable. You'll find yourself blowing up all kinds of stuff, from vehicles to buildings with artillery strikes and heat seeking missles. And the explosions are worth watching everytime. Theres action going on everywhere so you'll have plenty to do. Earning money from any of the four factions helps you pay for artillery to help you in your mission. It's a game you add to your collection, and with the sequel coming soon, this will give a small taste for what Mercs 2 has in store.
