 Could have been better August 2, 2005
I just picked this game up on a whim for pennies and while it has its fun moments (and looks fairly good graphically) it wasn't really worth much more than I paid for it.
Essentially, you have 12 playable charachters with slightly different abilities (better at sneaking/sniping/medical/etc) to choose from, you choose 4 per mission and can control each of the 4 one at a time in a first or third person view. While you control one the computer controls the others and this can be both good (the computer can see so much better than you) or bad (little to no AI). The weapons are authentic enough for this type of game and everything looks really good. However, even with the graphics pushed all the way to the max you still find yoruself repeating the levels enough times to memorize exactly where every enemy is located because you just can't seem to spot them. Regardless of how slow you walk, whether you are upright or prone, etc, you will usually be spotted by the enemy before you can spot them and be put down in short order. Frankly, I just got tired of dying so put the game away after only 3 levels.

 Great Value Action / Shooter Sim July 9, 2003

This is an older title, that is now very affordable and well worth the money.
Similar to may other games around at the moment, including the hugely popular Medal of Honor - you control a special unit of soldiers through around 12 or so levels across Europe during the latter part of WWII.
An array of weapons, tasks and specialities are available to you as you equip up to 4 team members (picked from a choice of 12 for each mission)on each level, which progressively get harder and require more task solving. The "Easy" level is actually not that easy, and where the game scores, I feel is in believability (one head shot kills, for example). The only aspect of the game I found annoying was the inability to pre select tasks for the group members you don't control. As you can only carry out the actions of one member at a time, switching between characters is a little frustrating, and those not under your control tend to act of their own accord during the mission, if they are in the midst of the action. Hidden & Dangerous was better from the point of view of being able to "send" other team members to specific areas, whilst you carried on with one, but this is still very enjoyable.
Fans of this type of game will certainly feel that it is money well spent, and the game does keep your attention for many mnay hours (as long as you don't cheat). Definite two thumbs up!
Choppy-But Good June 13, 2003

If you like Medal of Honnor, but don't want to give them all your money, then get Deadly Dozen. Deadly Dozen is very similar; it's just as fun, and cheaper. They only problem I found was that it was very choppy, especially during times when I was getting in and out of vehicles. If your system isn't very good, (at least Windows 98, 127 ram, 750 gigahertz, 32-64 meg video card) then it will crash, and loading will take half an hour if it works at all.
Could be real fun April 28, 2003

if it weren't for my ...computer. What little it did play was alot of fun, except when you meet the enemy and the movements get very choppy and if you are armed with an automatic weapon, it will not fire, and all the while YOU are getting blasted. After all the trouble of completing the mission, you try to escape and the game crashes. I have spent a small fortune upgrading my pc (for other reasons) and to have this happen tends to put me off. Infogrames acknowledges some problems along this line. Guess I'll just store this away untill I get a new system, then maybe a better review.
