I love this game. Just the game play is awsome. It may not have the best graphics but it is still awesome. The bounties are awsome. The enemy's never seem to miss a single shot though. There guns are way too accurate. The mercs are cool. There are three of them:

Chris Jacobs: He has been a merc for about 3 years. His special ability is that he can take the most damage.

Mattias Nilson: He is my fav. he is just cool and can run the fastest.

Jenifer Mui: She is the one that can sneak into places the best without getting caught.

The game is about catching General Song. The rouge leader of North Korea. He's pretty stupid and proves to be a pushover at the end. But the last level is one of the hardest I have ever beat. I was wondering if they were going to make another one of these games. If anyone knows send me a PM. Anyway the game does have a wide variety of weapons. Even a few super powered weapons that you can unlock by collecting everything in the game. I love the vehicles. The best is probably the civilian Street racer. it goes the fastest and can never seem to be caught. This is a game that I recommend.

In the beginning it does feel like a spin-off of Grand Theft Auto. It does roughly have the same controls. The key difference is that your are good, instead of a ruthless gangster just trying to takeover a city. The only time I used cheats was during the last level. It is unfair. there are tanks everywhere. But to see it BEAT THE GAME. Cheats just ruin the game. Not literally but it makes the game seem easy and boring. It strips it of all action.

There is a wide variety of missions you can do. the Rusians prove to be the coolest ones. Mainly because they have the black market, you can order any weapons and vehicals as long as there aren't any radio jammers. On the cover Chris can be seen holding a handgun. You don't get that gun till you have collected everything. but when you do get it it is a rapid fire grenade launcher.

The Americans you will want to stay friends with the second most ( russions being the 1st ) because they seem to have the strongest weapons. The Chinese seem to be the most worthless of them all. They always seem to hate me. The South Koreans have a really cool vehical that can shoot missels that you can control.

A really unfair thing is that you can run out of ammo but enemys and other people never run out of it. Rapid fire weapons are the best. I reccomend always haveing a maching gun ( perferably the Light MG ) and a sniper rifle. If you have to destroy something big use a tank. Never use the rapid fire sniper rifle. You can't control it. If anybody wants too know anything about this game or wants to criticize this send me a PM.
