Mercenaries offers intense action and fun gameplay in an open-ended structure - did we say it's alot of fun...
Taking obvious influence from the likes of the Grand Theft Auto series, LucasArts Mercenaries is the latest title to come from Pandemic Studios, a team rapidly garnering a lot of respect from recent titles such as Full Spectrum Warrior and Star Wars: Battlefront.
Taking control from one of three mercenaries, including a no-nonsense American ex-soldier, a British secret-agent or a Swedish Bounty Hunter, Mercenaries is set in the near-future and thrusts players into an escalating conflict raging across North Korea.
On the eve of a historic reunification of North and South Korea, a ruthless general stages a military coup to take control of North Korea and threatens the world with nuclear war. Quick to respond, the International community dispatches a global task force assigned to stabilise the region; however when these efforts collapse the country descends into anarchy, and so announce a $100 million bounty on the head of the North Korean General along with his military and scientific advisors.
Taking obvious influence from recent events, the targets are identified in a “Most Wanted” list that takes the form of a deck of playing cards; as one of the top operatives for a private military company named “Executive Operation” it’s up to you to collect the bounties.
The odds against one man (or woman) bringing down an oppressive militant force may be stacked against you, however you can feel safe in the knowledge that not only do you have access to a weapon’s arsenal that would make Colin Powell blush, but also the support of the various factions within the game.
