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. The international community launches a global task force to stabilize the region. However, when diplomatic efforts collapse and the region descends into anarchy they announce a one hundred million dollar bounty on the North Korean general and his top military and scientific advisors. The targets are identified in a "most wanted" list in the form of a 52-card deck of playing cards. As one of the top operatives for a private mercenaries company called Executive Operations, you have been called in to collect on these bounties. Massive, open environments that are completely interactive. If you can see it, you can use it, steal it, drive it, fly it, or blow it up. Explosive combat - you have the firepower (choose from a huge arsenal of realistic, military weapons) to lay waste to anything in sight. Flexible gameplay - Use your weapons and your imagination to figure out how to complete missions in a variety of ways in non-scripted environments. Dozens of different military and civilian vehicles, ranging from tanks, cars, trucks, helicopters, and more that can be commandeered at anytime and used for any purpose. Some of the best graphics seen on the consoles - great weather and realistic explosion/destruction effects. Based on the US military’s system of identifying a "most wanted" list of enemy targets in a playing card deck, players will use the playing card metaphor to identify missions and enemy targets. Take on missions from the different factions in order to gain intelligence and get new playing cards/targets and access to new areas. Reputation system that is driven by an embedded journalist that records player actions, which determines how civilians and the various warring factions respond to the player. Earn cash from different missions to buy better weapons and vehicles, or sell your vehicles and weapons on the black market. ## Features - Massive, open environments that are completely interactive - Explosive combat - you have the firepower to lay waste to anything in sight - Dozens of different military and civilian vehicles - Based on the US military’s system of identifying a “most wanted” list of enemy targets - Reputation system which determines how civilians and the various warring factions respond to the player - Earn cash from different missions to buy better weapons and vehicles ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00029P9CI | | Best Sellers Rank | 298 in PlayStation 2 Games | | Guaranteed Software Updates Until | unknown | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Product Dimensions | 19 x 13.49 x 1.4 cm; 140 g | | Rated | Ages 16 & Over | | Release Date | 18 Feb. 2005 | ## Images ![Mercenaries Playground of Destruction (PS2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZH50riSHL.jpg) ![Mercenaries Playground of Destruction (PS2) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kGgfCdmfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GTA gets a Military Application! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 23 September 2006* I bought Mercenaries a few years ago off of Amazon having no real idea as to what the game itself was like, however I was pleasently surprised. This game is one of the most rewarding and highly enjoyable games in my collection. You find yourself as a Merc thrust into a very high risk venture localised within North Korea. Some power hungry despot has overthrown the current president there and taken control of the countries military and nuclear bases with full intent on using them. Once in the warzone you can start to take individual missions from 4 different factions, The Allies, South Korean's, China and the Russian Mafia, all the while targetting rebel North Korean forces. You are paid handsomely for your services of course. All the money you collect can be used to buy vehicles, support and weapons off the black market to help you as you progress. The one bit that keeps it exciting is that sometimes one faction requires you to destroy something that belongs to another. The Chinese really hate the South Korean's in this game. This will cause the affected factions to lose favour with you forcing you to have to bribe your way back into their good graces if you need extra missions.The environment is quite large, some say it's not big enough but if it were too much larger then it could take ages to get around. The main missions you will have to perform is to arrest or kill, arresting gets more money, specific North Korean personel, there is a wanted list written up by the Allies called the Deck of 52 that lists all of the most key personel within this rebel government. You start off by tracing the business personel, then the military, then the scientists and eventually the specialist command staff and the president. The game is quite lengthy and you really get a sense of accomplishment as you progress.Much like the case tells you, nearly every vehicle in the game can be used, if you can reach it it's your for the taking and new specialist vehicles can be unlocked along the way. Weapons vary from the cheap and nasty to the new and expensive depending on your credit limit. it should be mentioned however that the Russian Mafia are responsible for the black market, if you hack them off too much you will lose access to the shop and all of it's supplies.The only real down side of this game is that the environment feels very bland and lacks colour. Also when you try to arrest a card they can be inadvertantly killed by their own forces or even by themselves by mistake and when your trying for a complete suit it can get very frustrating as if you do not save after every arrest, you will have to start the game from scratch to try again. This said however, the game Mercenaries is one of my most favourite games on the PS2 and if you like GTA but with a little more bang in the guns department then this one is for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 February 2018* Great game ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best game i own *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 May 2010* I purchased this game seeing all the amazing the reviews so i expected no less , i was not disappointed . You choose between three characters - an american , a brittish exMI5 agent and a swedish person . You work for 4 different governments - China , Allies , South Korea and the Russian Mafia , you choose who to do missions for and raise their friendliness towards you but certain contracts will involve killing another governments people and when you do this they become more unfriendly and eventually become hostile which can only be fixed by giving them a large amount of cash . This creates a very good plot and forces you to pick sides which means the game can go on for so much longer than you would expect . My game came with a page of cheats in the box and i am very happy that they did this , you can unlock all of the items in the Mafias online shop , you can get lots of extra money and you can get unlimited health . These cheats are very fun and make the game so much more enjoyable (unfortunately to the point where you dont want to play the game normally anymore) but still creates a VERY fun free play . Overall if you are considering buying this game then get off of this review and buy it ! I bought mine used and therefore cheap but i would definitely of bought it new if i knew it would be this good --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/62587766-mercenaries-playground-of-destruction-ps2](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/62587766-mercenaries-playground-of-destruction-ps2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
