-VZA-:
first impressions after completing the first level:
story seems pretty decent if you're into a war kind of scenario.  controls are good but could be a tad better.  i liked driving and running enemies over more than i did shooting them.  seems like the game has a lot to explore (keep in mind that this is only an impression).  overall it seems like a pretty solid game but not quite worth $50 to me.  maybe a rental or wait for the price to come down a bit.  like i said though, this is only my first impression after completing the first level... maybe things will pick up a bit later on.  stay tuned.

the game was supposed to release on thursday but gamestop and eb games are usually good about getting games before the release date.

Thirteen:
I'm  Loving this game after playing about 5-6 hours. Graphics are great, music, sound effects and voice acting are all great...environments are lush and full of variety... tons of military vehicles and weapons...it's great to explore and just happen upon an old military complex to find hidden items, one time i even stumbled upon some kind of black market deal which left one of the 52 wanted terrorists dead, and the culprits trying to get away in a flatbed truck full of money

there's tons of side missions just like GTA. collect hidden weapons WMD's, destroy the statues erected by the evil dictator, return cars to the russian mafia chop shop, and collect hidden korean national treasures all to unlock more weapons and vehicles. plus there's races, time events, timed battle challenges, taxi missions....

playing each of the 4 factions against each other works pretty well.... i snuck onto a chinese fuel depot with a sniper rifle....looked around and noticed the chinese and north koreans were at a stand off on the boarder of a territory... one good sniper shot to a north korean enraged a battle between the two forces where soldiers and tanks took turns blowing the hell out of each other...all rendered beautifully with no slow down...about 5 tanks and about 2 dozen soldiers...it was great. little skirmishes break out all the time and it's cool to just see destruction happening when ever

the only thing missing is a good story, it would be nice to have each of the 52 to have a little story or cut scene involved before their capture... i mean the game is great as it is but it takes off about a full point just because there seems to be no reason why you're capturing these guys and blowing shit up except for the money....you don't find out why these guys are important until after you capture them, and even then it's just a small paragraph or two of reading

so far i'm loving this game and haven't really wanted to touch resident evil 4 yet...i don't like mixing games together and it looks like mercenaries will keep me occupied for a while
