Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Explosive fun !An excellent game for the Playstation 2 - hours of fun completing missions, collecting important nuclear secrets, destroying listening posts and capturing or killing the elusive 'deck of 52' ! Steal or 'borrow' cars, tanks or helicopters GTA style as you explore the North Korean countryside to earn as much cash as you can. Thoroughly recommended - can't wait for the sequel ! Rating:  - Explosive and fun, but shallowThe sub-heading for Mercenaries is 'Playground of Destruction'. It sums up the game nicely; if you crave wanton destruction then you will probably be in your element playing Mercenaries. On the other hand, those of you hoping for a good war-based alternative to Grand Theft Auto (like much of the gaming press lead us to believe) will likely feel a twinge of disappointment. In Mercenaries you play (surprisingly) a mercenary in North Korea, who is trying to make a cool $100 million by bringing down an evil Saddam-alike dictator named General Song. That's about all the plot you get, other than occasional news updates on the goings-on in the nation. You're then free to explore the country as you please, and accept a contract with one ... Read More: Rating: - This is one very long reveiwI'm reviewing all my favourite games and couldn't possibly miss this one out. I've owned this game for four years and have played it through dozens of times, in my opinion this is one of the best platform releases in the sixth era. The story the game is based around is very simple; you are a mercenary employed by a private military company called ExOps, in Korea a brutal dictator named Song has been smuggling nuclear war heads into Korea. A freighter carrying such warheads is boarded by UN forces (all of which seem to be American). Soon after the president orders troops into Korea to eliminate the threat and publishes the "deck of 52" - the 52 most wanted leaders behind Song's regime. Rewards are given for capturing each card as ... Read More: Rating: - Truly a Playground of Destruction!As the title suggests, in this game you play as a ruthless mercenary, deployed into gloomy war-torn North Korea which has been subject to a bloody coup at the hands of the President's son, General Song. At the start of the game, you can choose to play as either an American, a British or a Swedish mercenary- each with their own bonus on the battlefield. The American for example, can withstand more bullets, but is not as fast as the Swedish mercenary and not as stealthy as the ex-MI6 Brit. Within the expansive, free-roaming setting, there are four main factions: the Allied Nations (AN), the Chinese, the South Koreans and the thuggish Russian Mafia, all enemies to the insurgent North Korean forces. Each of these factions asks you to ... Read More: Rating: - GTA gets a Military Application!I bought Mercenaries a few years ago off of Amazon having no real idea as to what the game itself was like, however I was pleasently surprised. This game is one of the most rewarding and highly enjoyable games in my collection. You find yourself as a Merc thrust into a very high risk venture localised within North Korea. Some power hungry despot has overthrown the current president there and taken control of the countries military and nuclear bases with full intent on using them. Once in the warzone you can start to take individual missions from 4 different factions, The Allies, South Korean's, China and the Russian Mafia, all the while targetting rebel North Korean forces. You are paid handsomely for your services of course. All the money you ... Read More: |
