Mercenaries - Xbox

GREAT AD CAMPAIGN... sub par game

If you couldn't get enough of the sensless crime and violence of the GTA series, you can quench your thirst for carjacking, assassination, and reckless driving in Mercenaries on the X-box. There are plenty of vehicles to steal and destroy including North Korean tanks, Chinese 'Jeeps', South Korean Attack Choppers, American H3's, and even the occasional city bus. In addition to the traditional arsenal of RPG's, C4, and a large variety of machine guns, Mercenaries adds the option to call in various airstrikes. These airstrikes can take out anything from a single soldier to an entire building, yes with a 'bunker buster' airstrike an entire building will crumble into dust and rubble. In my opinion, this is a rental. I haven't beaten the game yet and am already tired of it. The missions are repetative; kill this, blow up that pretty much describes every mission. Occasionally you find yourself in a situation surrounded by tanks where there is no way out and you die, which is frustrating because you have to drive back to where you were in slow, poor handling vehicles back from the MASH. Overall i would recommend renting this game for a week and saving 40 bucks rather than buying it, because it is obvious already there is little replay value.
