Mercenaries is a revolutionary third-person combat-action game that delivers the next level of free-form gameplay in massive interactive environments. The game gives players the opportunity to take on the role of a soldier for hire in an open-ended world. Mercenaries is set in North Korea in the near future, where a coup has plunged the troubled nation into chaos. An elite private military company, Executive Operations, has dispatched a mercenary to track down the "deck of 52" fugitive members of the old hardliner regime - before they can launch a nuclear attack.

Mercenaries: Playground of Awesome!!
There's not many things I can say bad about this game. I loved just about every part of it. The only thing bad I'll say is the story could have been a little more in depth.<br><br>Being able to roam around and destroy every man-made thing you see is the epitome of awesome. The missions are done on your time and since there was only 4 missions per faction per suit there was never too many missions for one person that left you feeling bored of dealing with them.<br><br>I had the most fun though after I broke down and decided to use the cheat codes. I suggest playing for a while the way you're supposed to and then wreaking complete havoc by using the codes.

LOVE IT
This game is by far the best free running game I have ever played next to grand theft auto San Andreas. You get a huge variety of Air strikes, air droped suppiles, and missions. I also like that it is rated T exept M with all the explosions and death everywere. The gameplay (depending on who you choose) you must change your gameplay so run and gun people can apreciate the game and also stealthy people who like Tom Clancy games can also enjoy it.<br><br>GET THE GAME... NOW...

Love and Loathing In Mercs. P.G.D
All in all, this Game was a Joy to Play. Not only was there the main story to focus on, but there were also TONS of side quest that could keep you up until the wee hours of the morning trying to complete them. Having said that though, there were some trouble spots in the game. The one problem that I kept running into, was that when I entered an HQ, sometimes the person would speak, but there would be no sound. So when I went to accept the mission, I had just about no Idea what the heck I was doing. Another thing that bugged me about the game, was that it started off pretty easily. I mean, a 5 year old could probably finishes the first level in no time flat. However, AFTER the first mission, it was like someone took the Difficulty knob, cranked it up to Insane, and then ripped the knob off. After the first Mission, things got so Difficult, I almost considered sending the game Back. But I didn't, and I finally beat it. All in all the game was Fun to Play. There were plenty of Buildings to Destroy, TONS of people to Kill, Lots of side quest to do, and more weapons then you could shake a stick at to do it all with. For those of you thinking of renting this game, I Highly recommend it. It was one of the best shooters I have ever played in a long time.

Awesome Game
This is definately an awesome game. I would not rent it... i would BUY it. This game never gets old. It was made a few years ago. I got it when it was new and still play it. It is a challenging and exciting game. It is not only a semi-shoot-em-up game but is also very tactical. Have fun firing some of these guns and blowing up some explosives. Almost everything is destructible and is fun to destroy. Befriend several countries such as the russian mafia and south korea. You can order anything from weapons to vehicles to airstrikes. This game has very good graphics and awesome gameplay. It can get very hard but that's nothing a few cheats won't fix. You can gather blueprints and unlock all kinds of costumes which include anything from Han Solo to a North Korean Doctor. Have fun eliminating these dangerous terrorists known as the Deck of 52. Have fun playing and blow up as much as you can you may pick up some cash blowing stuff up along the way.

One of My Favorites
Mercenaries is a very fun game that allows you to play as a hired gun for 4 different groups:Russian Mafia, Allies, China, and South Korea. You perform well paying jobs for these groups to recieve intel about North Korean officers you are trying to capture or kill for bounty. You're after the Ace of Spades, General Song worth 100,000,000 if captured. This game allows you to use a wide variety of vehicles and weapons including helicopters and all terrain vehichles. If you ever get tired of going with the story line then blow up and building, person, or vehichle you want. Or hunt down the North Koreans that aren't missons.<br><br>A very great game if you love choas, shooting, and explosions. I've owned this game for months and I never get tired of playing it. Choose 3 different characters to play as and make some money!
