Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction drops you into a near-future North Korea as one of three hired guns, each with a unique specialty and language skills. Working for whichever faction pays best, including the Allied Nations, China, South Korea and the Russian Mafia, you hunt down the Deck of 52, a card set of wanted war criminals. Developed by Pandemic Studios and published by LucasArts, the game offers a wide open world where you can hijack tanks and helicopters, call in air strikes and level entire buildings. Your choices about who to help shape faction relationships and the contracts on offer. Its sandbox freedom and explosive set pieces made it a PS2 highlight. Disc and case only; manual not included.
