## Description

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is a revolutionary third person action-shooter game, set in the near future and inspired by real world events. A military leader stages a coup just as North and South Korea are preparing to unify, turning that region's political situation into violent chaos. As diplomacy fails, this new dictator threatens the world with nuclear war. The world's nations put an unprecedented $100,000,000 reward on him and his advisors. You're a solider-for-hire and you've decided to claim that bounty.

Review: I like the game since when I was a teenager. It’s kinda military environmental of GTA.
Review: Rest in peace Pandemic, they made a lot of good games before they were gutted by EA. Mercenaries Playground of Destruction was one of them and is one of the most satisfying open-world sandbox games ever made. For me it falls under the same category that Saint's Row and Prototype fall under. Lack of story is no biggie because its packed to the brim with content and wanton destruction. The title "Playground of Destruction" really fits the game well since it seems just about every building can be leveled with enough explosives. So the underlying synopsis is as, General Song the military dictator of the un-Democratic People's Republic of Korea is exposed for selling nuclear weapons illegally. As the UN and South Korea move into oust him from power he goes underground with his cabinet and precious nukes. The North Korean military is waging a tenacious guerrilla war against the Allies and time is running out. So bounties are placed on General Song and his men to hasten their capture. Now ExOps, a private military contractor sends in one of their agents to cash in on the war. So at the start you are given a choice of several agents to play as. You have Chris Jacobs the American, Jennifer Mui the Brit, and Mattias Nilsson a Swedish-BA. The game says that they all have different strengths and weaknesses but in reality they don't make much of a difference. So what you really end up choosing is skin and dialogue. After you got your agent your dropped off in war torn North Korea and now begins the hunt for the "Deck of 52". The bounties are split up by card numbers and suits and you capture them (dead or alive) till you eventually get up to the man himself. To do this you can track down the smaller bounties on your own or gain intelligence from the various factions in Korea. Aside from the Allies; there are the South Koreans, the Chinese, and the Russian Mafia. You can work with these factions who in turn toss a fat bounty at you and information on others in hiding so as long as you do their bidding. Supporting them also opens up their resources to you, support the South Koreans you get their air support, support the Chinese you get artillery support and armor, the Russians Mob gives you small arms and contraband vehicles etc etc. However at times they can work against each other and you may end up making enemies of one faction in the process. The missions they toss at you are pretty typical in regards to sandbox games. Go there blow that building up, go here and take that guy out and so on. Though its not really the missions that you should come for but the destruction. Virtually every vehicle can be hijacked and it helps give you an edge. If a North Korean tank is rushing to you why not just hijack it and use it against them? Thats possible and more. You can slap C4 on a car and drive it into the checkpoint and detonate it in the process. If you are stuck in the middle of nowhere call in your Mafia comrades to pick you up with a captured Blackhawk helicopter. Thats another thing that makes this game really enjoyable is the "Merchants of Menace" site attached to your character's PDA. With it you can call in air strikes, supplies, or vehicles which are promptly delivered. Since the site is ran by the Russian Mafia its best to stay on their good side for discounts if you plan to use it frequently. Be careful with the M&M app though because you may end up burning through all your money fast. This game is over 8 years old but still looks good. Dust rises up from explosions, missiles leave behind lines of exhaust, sunlight glistens off surfaces, and destroyed vehicles shower fiery debris. Battles are large scale and you'll often find two factions fighting hashing it out complete with tanks, helicopters and infantry charging at each other. If you use heavy types of air strikes like carpet bombing or fuel air bombs what was once a vibrant armor base is leveled flat into charred ruins. Looking back its quite amazing what they were able to pull of visually despite having dated hardware. So in the end the game was fun, and it's still fun. The game-play itself if very satisfying and rewards adventuring. Difficulty can definitely spike in certain missions but with some imagination most missions in this game are doable. Overall, great game and worth getting a used copy of.
