HAMMER & SICKLE September 20, 2006
4 out of 8 found this review helpful

This unheard of post WWII turn based adventure game is anything but adventerous. Using the same game engine as its predocessor, and a personal favorite of mine Silent Storm. The downside is that the other similarties to H&S and SS are almost nonexistent. The game is setup in a clever post-WWII europe. Your task as a russian commando is to go on an esponage mission behind american lines to do all you can to prevent nuclear war between the two worlds remaining superpowers. This is where the game begins to take its downward sprile. The missions are almost completly uninformed. It doesnt take long before you find yourself looking to clues and trying to complete objectives that are not even disclosed to you. Most of the game is spent wandering around trying to complete the seemingly frustrating objectives in the best way because as soon as you take too much liberty and take out too many American G.I.s for example and the game immediately ends on a incredibly low note where you are informed of the nuclear that you inadvertantly started. Over all I'd rate this game at around a 3 - 3.5 out of 10. It is a nice sequal to Silent Storm but fell VERY VERY short of the expectations we as gamers are starting to suspect from such blockbuster game creators and programers like silent storm.
