Full Review of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction for PlayStation 2
Next | Other Reviews for this game

Overall the game was very exciting. I really enjoyed playing it with out cheats and even more with cheats. Both ways you still have fun blowing the heck out of everything in your path with out disregard for who you tick off on the faction list. The game did have a few glitches which you can over come with some patience and luck with out having to turn your system off. So every chance you get save your progress don't hesitate.

Graphics

I only give a mild higher than avg score for the simple reason that there should be a whole lot more blood. Call me crazy but last time I check games like this one should have the option of adding realistic blood splatters and gun shot wounds on the bodies. Think about it, your a merc killing people. Plus where are natures animals in the game to shoot at. As far as how people look for realistic purposes. That part was really good.

Sound

I give it a really high score simply cause I have a home theater system and was able to utilize the dolby pro logic II ability of the game. The only problem was that sometimes you didnt hear the people speak every once in awhile. Other than that sound was terrific.

Gameplay

Play was good could have been better though. You should be able to go prone not just kneel down. You should be able to ditch your weapons anytime you want to. Also you should be able to at anytime take some one down and then pick them up if you like. Ive tried it on several civilians and was let down cause I was not able to pick them up and carry them any where I wanted to.

Lastability

For this you definately get hooked as long as you don't keep getting killed all the time. I like the part of being medivaced out all the time just before you die. If your a die hard military guy then this game should be right up your alley letting you deal a piece of atitude towards north korea with out any legal ramifications.
