About this product

Product Information

Adventuresome gamers aim to eliminate a maniacal dictator -- for the good of humanity, as well as significant monetary compensation from the highest bidder. As its title suggests, Mercenaries puts players in the roles of soldiers for hire, who find ample opportunities for employment as an unexpected menace leads the nations of the world to the brink of disaster. In a quick and bloody coup, the prime minister of North Korea has been displaced by a power-hungry general called Sung, who now threatens the world with nuclear attack. In the role of an American, British, or Swedish soldier of fortune, players choose their patron and price, and then go to work at eliminating the 52 most wanted perpetrators of the new North Korean regime. Each target is assigned a different playing card, for easy reference.<br><br>Naturally, the threat of nuclear attack draws considerable international interest, and players may choose employment by such diverse entities as the United Nations, the U.S. Coalition, China, or the Russian Mafia, as they work to collect the 52 bounties which will complete the deck. While the employer may set the basic mission objectives, mercenaries decide for themselves how to get the job done once they're on location. The game features over 30 weapons and more than 20 different vehicles, including cars and trucks, planes, helicopters, and tanks, allowing players to reach their goals using the tactics and equipment of their choosing. Mercenaries' storyline features multiple possible endings, and the game's conclusion will depend on moral decisions made by the player's character throughout the various missions.<br><br>With the phenomenal success of Rockstar's 128-bit generation Grand Theft Auto games, the notion of "emergent gameplay" created a buzz among some game developers and journalists. The general idea is to present an open-ended world that reacts naturally and appropriately, no matter what players try to do or when they try to do it. The gameplay "emerges" from the game world itself. This style is prominent in contemporary games such as Jak II and Beyond Good & Evil, and according to the publisher, it's fundamental in the design of Mercenaries as well. Player characters are set loose in large "sandbox" levels, where they must choose how they'll accomplish goals in terms of the game world's overall dynamic, instead of by following a scripted series of events.

    This DVD was listed as "great condition" and that's exactly how it came. Very happy with this seller, especially receiving the DVD in this condition at a reasonable price, after receiving a similarly listed item from ANOTHER seller, in awful condition. Shipping was fast! Would definitely buy off of this seller again.

    Super Fast Shipping! Super well packaged! The seller is just SUPER! Seller had a perfect size box for boombox to be shipped in with enough cushion and protection! The physical condition of boombox exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this seller.

    So thankful it made it there sound and safe; USPS has been great about things late but I know it always depends on the package handler. I love the design. Its an awesome Sony Electronic imo! Sounds great too!

    Classic And still awesome

    I played this game as a kid and always loved it. It’s a very fun game and lots to do and explore. What makes the game even better than before is you can now play it on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. By far one of my top ten favorites of all time.
