Every so often a game will come along that will take you completely by surprise. Last year it was Freedom Fighters. This year the honor goes to the game Mercenaries. It may only be January but this is probably going to be one of the top games of 2005.
Mercenaries takes place in North Korea. War has broken out and the Allied Command has enlisted the help of a freelance military contractor named ExOps. As one of three operatives, you are enlisted to help out the different factions in the combat zone. All for, of course, a price.
The graphics on this game are very good. Using what looks like the Star Wars: Battlefront engine, the game does a great job at depicting a war zone. As you drive down the roads you will come across different factions duking it out. One of the great features in the game is that just about EVERYTHING in the game environment is destructable. Every target of opprotunity yields a cash bonus. The sound on this game is also exceptional. This is a very well put together game visually and sound wise as well.

A lot of people are comparing this game to SOCOM. Well there really is no comparison (if anything it more resembles Star Wars: Battlefront with some shades of Freedom Fighters). This game is very unique in design and in concept. Don't let the lack of online play disuade you either from trying this game. This game is well worth the price even with no online modes or multiplayer modes. If you're looking for a great change of pace then this game is for you. I HIGHLY recomend this game.
