Very fun game!!
This game is a blast! Good graphics, nice sound and a amazing music score,cool guns and vehicles, and a super fun single-player. I would rent it first and see if you like it. If you do, buy it!! I give it a 5 out of a 5.

A great new idea
this game like other people have said reminds me of GTA, but it brings in some new great ideas I liked including: airlifting suplies and veichles and the life saving cheat drop you could buy (which I liked the portable airstrike the most.)I found little or no problems with this game I am only concerned with 3: 1. The game messes up if u go into restricted areas with god mode on (my fault) 2. u cant fire your weapon when u slide down the hills. 3.the card people die too easily I found myself killing them accidently when i was clearing the area of soldiers.

Much more than just a Playground of Destruction
I've not as of yet bought "Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction", but I am tomorrow, I've rented it many times, and am nearly through the entire game. I just have to say one thing first: If you just want to kill everything in sight with no consequence, buy Grand Theft Auto, not Mercenaries. If you want challenging missions in which you try to have as little casualties for the faction you're working for, while as many as possible for the other... play Grand Theft Auto. Mercenaries is a whole different game. You do work for different factions, and sometimes yes, all your mission entails is killing the other faction's men, but usually you have to retrieve a truck, or find a package, snipe out a high-ranking officer, or capture one of the Deck of 52. Mercenaries is a great game, nearly one-of-a-kind, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a game in which there is violence, but it is far from senseless.

Don't buy, RENT!!!
I was looking for a fun new game because i am getting sick of playing Halo and i found Merceneries. It looked cool; tanks, helicopters, cars and a bunch of weopans so i decided to buy it. The game is set into 4 parts with each part consisting of bounties and missions. The first part was fun, slightly repetitive and i was under the impression that when it was over the not so big map that i was restricted to would grow, it didn't. The second stage was the same as the first only harder on the account of poorly designed parts that are full of follies. I stopped playing because it was a joke and turned on Halo.
Pro: Tanks, helicopters,like GTA but always fighting.
Cons: Other armies turn on you with stupid reasoning(accidently ran over 1 GI now they hate me), the guns are all horribly inaccurate, controls are goofy, map stays the same size as you progress, destroyed major vehicles (artillary) and bases just reappear over time, unbelievably repetitive, sometimes just plain tedious.
Don't buy this game, but rent it. It is fun for a few hours but after that is not worth the 50 bucks i paid for it.

The Most Fun You'll Have With C4!
This game has got to be the greatest game I have ever played for several reasons that I will get to in a moment. I think that it is important to back up my claim with some experience. So for that reason, I think that it is important to point out that I have been a gamer all my life and have owned the following games systems: Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Playstation, Sega Dreamcast, Playstation 2, and XBOX. I have played many great titles for each of those systems and have experienced a lot of fun in the process.
Now that I have established that I have extensive video game experience to make the previous claim I will go into detail on why this game is the best I have ever played. The best way to describe this game is that it is a cross between Grand Theft Auto and Star Wars Battlefront (only you don't die as easy as in that game). You are a MERCENARY, and you work for a company called ExOps that accepts contracts from countries and private interests. You play on a map that pits you and four other factions against the North Korean army. The four other factions (South Korea, Allied Forces (UN), China, and the Russian Mafia) contract you to do jobs for them that are most times targeted at the North Korean army, but are sometimes targeted at one another. The more you do for a faction the more you are liked by that faction, and the more you do against a certain faction the more you are hated by that faction. As you complete missions for these factions you are on the hunt for the deck of 52, which are 52 of the most powerful North Korean individuals that have ties to the North Korean army. Each have bounties and you can collect more or less based on whether the contract is detained dead or alive. Cool, huh?
This game is a complete and udder thrill to play because you can either complete missions, collect bounties or just drive around blow stuff up. I love the game play, because it is pretty straight forward and easy to use (especially if you have played GTA). There are lots and lots of weapons to use in the game and it is realistic (like Halo) in that you can only carry two weapons with you at a time in addition to your two grenade types and of course the C4!
Are you running low on life? Call in a helicopter to drop off some medical supplies. Want to do a mission in a tank instead of the civilian POS you just stole? Call in a helicopter to drop you off a fully equiped tank. Want to get somewhere fast? Order a helicopter with a full crew to be dropped off. Can't blow something up on your own? Call in a laser guided air strike. This game has something new for you each and every time you play it.
Things that I really like about the game...I like the fact that your character will make remarks throughout the game. When a blow a lot of stuff up at once he'll say something like "cool!" When I'm out of ammo and a tank is barreling down on me he'll say something like "you want me to throw my shoe at him?" It's just so much fun!!! I enjoy getting paid money each and every time I blow a North Korean jeep to pieces. I enjoy the creativity that you can use with all your weapons, like the C4. You can strap some C4 to the hood or your car, drive it into an enemy base, bail out and detonate. You can plant some C4 in the middle of the road and wait in the bushes while a North Korean jeep drives over it and then detonate.
BUY THIS GAME! You will enjoy it and think that it is the best game that you have ever played too.
