About this product

Product Information

As the name implies, “Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction” for the PlayStation 2 is all about causing chaos. You'll take control of one of three different characters as you look to capture more than four dozen wanted fugitives. Set in North Korea, this game has you taking missions from a multitude of factions. Every faction, from the armies of South Korea to the Russian mafia, has a job for you. Along the way, you'll inadvertently prevent a nuclear war while lining your pockets full of cash. “Mercenaries” was developed by Pandemic Studios and published by Electronic Arts. At its core, “Mercenaries” shares a lot of the same engaging elements of the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise. Gameplay takes place in an open-world setting; if you can see a location, you can travel to it. You can hijack all manner of vehicles in this title, ranging from jeeps to tanks. The third-person viewpoint lets you see the action around you at all times. On foot, you'll wield weapons ranging from pistols to rocket launchers against your foe.There are five total factions in “Mercenaries” for the PlayStation 2. Gameplay involves carefully balancing the factions against one another. For example, if you complete too many missions for the mafia, the Allied Nations may turn against you. It's impossible to get locked out of any particular group, though. By bribing the faction guard, you can completely reset your standing. You'll need to do this frequently to take on all of the missions because they eventually lead you to your targets.The primary objective in “Mercenaries” is to complete the Deck of 52. Each card in this set corresponds to a wanted fugitive that you need to capture. You can take these outlaws either dead or alive. Each fugitive you take down will unlock new weapons for you to use. At the top of each deck is an ace, with the Ace of Spades being the most-wanted criminal.Like other PS2 open-world games, this title has a variety of cheats for you to use. These cheats add to the game's fun factor and will extend the replay value immensely. You can enter each code on your in-game handheld PDA at any time. One fun cheat allows you to play as Lucasfilm characters, including Indiana Jones and Han Solo. Other codes decrease the difficulty, like those that give you unlimited health and ammunition.The graphics in this title take full advantage of the PlayStation 2's hardware. The draw distance in this game extends for a lengthy distance, meaning you can see ahead of your character for what appears to be miles. Even during times of multiple explosions and multiple enemies on the screen, there is no slowdown in this game. This title had some of the best graphics in 2005, even going on to win multiple awards. The game has a rating of T for its use of alcohol, strong language, and violence. If you're in the mood to just blow up everything in your path, this video game fits the bill. With a campaign that is 25 to 30 hours long, you've got a lot of fun and destruction ahead of you.

Definitely recommend to get! Info from Wiki: Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction is an action-adventure video game developed by Pandemic Studios and published by LucasArts for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game features an open world environment, with elements of potential stealth gaming and reputation-based social mechanics, and is set during a fictitious multi-national military action in North Korea, circa 2007. The player takes control of one of three mercenary characters and completes contracts in the war-torn country for profit and to prevent a nuclear war. Critics gave favorable reviews to the game, in particular praising its focus on explosive mayhem. Throughout the game, the player is tasked with hunting down and "verifying" 13 targets of a "suit". "Verification" involves either killing the target and taking a picture of the corpse, or subduing the target and radioing an AN helicopter to transport the prisoner away. After every verification the player is awarded with "Intelligence" and cash, which is usually doubled if the target is captured alive. In a suit, the number cards (from 2 to 10) are located throughout the in-game region, and they can be found by exploration or by receiving tips from friendly factions (usually after the completion of a mission). Each of the three face cards (Jack, Queen, King) is only made available by one of Chinese, South Korean, and Russian factions. A "face card mission" often involves specific objectives for the faction in addition to verifying the target. However, it is not necessary to verify all members of a suit to progress through the game. The player must gain only enough Intelligence by verifying targets before the AN gives the player the Ace contract. The Ace, the most important figure in a suit, is located in an isolated, often heavily fortified area, where the player is dropped off. The Ace contract usually consists of a variety of required and optional objectives that can be accessed in multiple routes, before the Ace is available for verification. After the Ace is verified, the player is transported back to the main region to hunt down another suit of targets. The PS2 version of the game suffers from an glitch, where saving the same campaign playthrough in multiple slots can result in corrupted data on the memory card though saving in one slot each for different playthroughs with different characters is apparently fine. If the player attempts to leave the game world (leaving N. Korea), they will effectively enter a restricted area where either the AN Task Force or the North Koreans have supreme air power in those areas, bearing great lethality that serves as an invisible wall to bar the player from going out of bounds. Entering these areas immediately prompts the players with a warning message (either by an unnamed Allied radio operator or by your support operative, respectively) telling them to get out quick. Choosing to ignore this warning prompts another message, informing that enemy planes are inbound. This is followed by three fighters appearing to shoot the player down with a large salvo of explosives that are impossible to completely dodge and tough to survive. These are areas that usually surround the province (with the exception of the Black Gate until after the Ace of Clubs is verified) and are marked in red.

Its the Merc.
I bid on this game, cause I had a version of it for Xbox, and I wanted to see if there were any major diffrences between the two systems. For the most part, they are the same, though on the Xbox the loading is so much faster. This game is great, because there is not set plot per say. It just you in an open go anywhere enviorment and you can basicly do whatever it is you want. You can do the missions, to get info on where the cards are, but if you want the challenge, you can just go "hunting" for them without any clue of where they could be. After playing it once all the way thru, the second time around that is how I did it. Its actually kinda funner like that. All in all, the graphics on the PS2 are good. Not great but good. I have also noticed that when you go into the PDA and exit out, ...

I have also noticed that when you go into the PDA and exit out, there is atleast a five second delay before the game resumes. That can get kinda annoying. All in all, its one of those games, that you will just not get bored of playing in an hour or so. It keeps you on edge, and when the bullets start flying, you best be ready to roll. Worth a shot if you like RPG's, without the normal confined areas.

Best PS2 single player game I've ever played!
Mercenaries has always been my most treasured games, and it hurt when I had to sell it years ago. The idea of "If you can see it, you can take it, drive it, shoot it, destroy it or blow it up" is 100% true. It's a massive game of thousands of destroyable buildings, a huge arsenal to play around with and a great feel to the game. The learning curve is minor, and they introduce you to a very good tutorial string of missions that teach you how to move, drive and take down targets. One of the most unique characteristics of this game is the air strike and faction system. The story is very engrossing and the environment you are in is great. You start out on the 48th parallel, also known as the demilitarized zone on the border of North and South Korea. You complete several missions there and you ...

On a final note, their "Boss" system is also very well thought out. Set up like a deck of cards, you start off with the bottom cards and work your way up till you finally take down the Ace of each suite. Your main target is Song, the Ace of Spades. The Ace maps are also amazing, each one being very unique and expansive. Mercenaries is a great game, and I've recomended it before and I will continue to recommend it to all of my friends and any gamer that I meet.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction Review
I used to own this game when it first came out, but then it got stolen. After about 5 years I decide to go looking for the game and found it again on Ebay being auctioned for a cheap price. I didn't care about the scratches or the condition of the case or disc as long as I am able to play it, and sure enough I was able to play it with no problems. The game is awesome it brought back many memories. This is a classic on my PlayStation 2 video games list.I used to own this game when it first came out, but then it got stolen.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
A first shooter game with the ability to work with different factions for different abilities, such as calling in strikes or artillery back-up. With the use of a 52 card deck to identify targets, you will find yourself thinking of creative new ways to capture targets as there is no structured storyline. A good game with a revamped physics engine, bodies fly realistically and so do helicopters, as you are able to hijack anything in sight. If you can see it, you can steal it, definitely a plus. This game is definitely worth checking out, if not buying.A first shooter game with the ability to work with different factions for different abilities, such as calling in strikes or artillery back-up.
