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.

The packaging was great and the item was as described. It is the best price and value I've found with these figures. The shipping was a nightmare due to the postal service though. It took longer than expected because the USPS lost the item for three days and finally sent it to me. Thankfully it was unopened, as far as I can tell. Otherwise, not the seller's fault

While yes the price is very expensive, for how much this went for market value, it was a really good discount. It's clear the seller understood the value of this and took care not just with the packaging but making sure when it was delivered it had extra security to it. Incredibly fast shipping paired with that and it being in great condition, great experience with the seller.

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.

Must have classic war game.
I love this game and playing takes me back to 2005. The game itself is great. Lots of missions lead to hours of game play. For 2005 it was kind of ahead if its time.

Let me tell you a little story.....
For a second if you will please put your self in the Gold trimmed boots of a Tinpot Dictator's 3rd in command every single officer lower than you has long since been killed so you Bunker up in your own personal fortress, a quaint Repurposed Cold war era Bunker, you have placed every single soldier you could get you dirty Hands on in barricades stretching for almost two square miles. You start preparing your self some tea when suddenly you hear Ride of the valkryes coming from the sky you use your Bunker's cameras and look up to see a single Hind Gun Ship absolutely decimating your men, your truks and even your tanks, you fire every single Sam and AA missile at it and it poops in a fantastic explosion You are jubilant and Extatic and then suddenly you see a parachute it lands behind a stone ...

A freaking tank literally falls from the sky on top of them and the guy who was hiding behind the Stone just gets in it as if it was the most common thing in the world, he then proceeds to obliterate what ever few of your soldiers are still alive, and parks right in front of your Bunker. You grab your AK and prepare to sell your self heavy .....but he doesn't come in instead he simply pulls out his phone and calls some one a few minutes later an Huey Strapped with an Obscene amount of guns lands next to him, he then looks at the Bunker entrance with some kind of binoculars for a few seconds then mouts his helicopter and leaves.....He just leaves, You drop to your knees and start to cry, You can't believe you are still alive you can't believe believe how lucky you a.......The thought never finishes in a single second a Bunker buster missile pierces the hardened roof of your bunker it rapidly brakes trough the meters upon meters of concrete unthil finally it brakes into the bunkers Mess room where it explodes into a Titanic wave of fire 1/10th as hot as the surface of the sun Wich eats trough the entire complex and it's Garrison (Including you) in but a fraction of a second leaving behind nothing but melted metal and Ash.
