Talk about satisfaction, let's see, how should I blow up the compond this time: surgical air strike, artillery barage, C-4, or should I use their cannons against them, of course the answer is all of the above. The great thing about this game is the options, as with GTA you can do pretty much anything you want. As long as it pertains to warfare. The graphics are top notch, the sound is almost perfect and the variety of missions is quite enjoyable, the only problem is that you might get too distracted just blowing stuff up. If you ever wanted a game that has great replay value go and buy this game now, Schnell!!

Is this game out for ps2 yet? i know im in wrong section but i didnt see it in the ps2 section so i figured id come here , i herd it was being released early feb , am i mistaken?

Of course it's out for the PS2. For more info on the game, click here.

First I will post what I said in the "Recent Game Purchases" thread the I will go further in depth.

"Mercenaries" (XBOX)-This one is "Grand Theft Auto" during war time. You can do whatever you want, blow up buildings for no purpose whatsoever, shoot anybody regardless of alliances, and blow up random bridges. It is incredibly fun.

When comparing it to GTA there are many similarities.
A) While not doing missions you can free roam Korea.
B) You can complete missions any way that you want (Sniper out bad guys, run them over, close-combat machine guns)
C)You work for everybody, the allies and the enemy.

In addition, to this really cool stuff they add to it by giving you a responsive environment, you can blow up almost anything. They have a "Deck of 52" bounties that you can either kill for half of the bounty or caputure alive and send for air support for the entire bounty.

There are a couple things that I dislike as well.
A) You can go over various mountains, but occasionally you get stuck behind bushes that will not move.
B) The "Deck of 52" members cannot be found unless you get a tip after completing a mission and even then it can be difficult.

Overall, it is an excellent game. 85/100

im sry but mercenaries is 1 of the worst games i have ever played,its almost as bad as the original age of empires(u nkow the crappy 1 abotu rome or sumthin)

Well, you CAN find the number cards, but you need to be alot closer to find them. i dont like how u cant find the queen, king, and jack without doing certan missions though. I hate working for the south koreans, and fighting against factions i like.

Second, is it me, or does the game ever go to night? I know it does on the ace contracts, but i would so love to be battling in the dead of night on a daily basis.

Finally, i am convinced that every faction has at least there own version of: light helicopter, heavy copter, transport copter, light, medium, and armored transport.
But some of these are nearly impossible to find, like the mafia heavy helicoptor. I saw it once during a mission where you had to kill a mafia leader or somthing. it had 2 blades, and was black with red i think. Does anyone else know where vehicles like these that are hard to find can be found besides doing a certan mission?
