Grand Theft Auto meets North Korean Warfare. Sounds good to me.

User Rating: 10 | Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction PS2
By xMeHRuNeSDaGoNx | Review Date:
Mercanaries. One of the best games I've played on my ps2 in a very very long time. This game has that Grand theft auto feel to it ... but making it better by adding the availability to call in vehicles, weapons, and most improtantly, air strikes to destroy your enemies. You can chose one of three characters in the beginning, each with his/her own abilities and strengths. Your main objective is to hunt down certain bounties to collect cash (which you use to buy stuff to help you take down the harder bounties) then eventually rid the world of certain chaos.

Gameplay - 10 - the satisfaction the air strikes will be one of your favorite things in this game. But don't get me wrong, everything else about it is perfect too.

Graphics - 9.5 - You will appreciate the destruction of vehicles and buildings with their beautiful fire and explosion effects

Sound - 9.5 - Each weapon fire has its own unique sound. And the music has it's certain hauntingness to it.

Value - 10 - Incredible replay value. You will want to track down every single bounty out there ... just to earn another dollar

Overall - 10 - must buy, even if it is a bit old already...
