Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Online multiplayer
Pro Prequel to other Killzone titles
For those interested in the story of Killzone, Mercenary is a prequel to all the previous released titles on PS3, which fleshes out some of what happened before those games took place.
Pro Was not phoned in
Unlike Resistance or Call of Duty Killzone was not a quick cash in for the Vita. Mercenary plays as much like it's console brother and looks fantastic while doing it.
Pro Good selection of characters to choose from
There are six different classes in the game that the player can choose to play with. Each with their own skill tree that allows for growth of skills through playing the game. The characters found in each class all have their own unique looks and strategies as well. Some may be slow brutes while others are quick and nimble magicians. This way each feels different from the other but also allows for a good amount of growth.
Cons
Con Single player campaign is too short
Coming in at only 9 missions that may last around 5 hours, the single player story mode is pretty short. While there is a lot to do in the multiplayer gameplay, those looking for a single player shooter that will last them a good while may be disappointed.
Con Boring repetitive story
The story found within can become quite repetitive and is a bit contrived. While it is not the main focus of the game and does not detract from the gameplay too much, it can be tough to feel any reason to complete the game when it comes to finishing the story.
