Advantages: good grafics, seems reasonably realistic

Disadvantages: boring after short while, repetative

Initially I was pleasantly suprised by this game being very much strategy driven, having expected something of a shoot-em-up (Conflict desert Storm Style).

However as I played through the tutorial I became very annoyed with the 'gung-ho' things the soldiers in your squad constantly shout out. Every time you send your squad on a move, be it two meters or a mile they shout out things like 'let's go, move out' or 'alpha team let's rock'. This constant, repetative sound soon got to me and I was very annoyed with it...

Another let down for me was that if even 1 of your men died you failed the mission!

The actual game, however, is not too bad, you have to think about staying in cover and outflanking your enemies. The game also features a replay option. This basically lets you review your mission upto the point were you died or failed the mission allowing you to 'jump in' and play from any point you choose.

Another poor point was that the game is only 1 player, unless you have your x-box hooked up to Live! which unfortunately I have not so can not offer any review on the multi-player angle of the game.

Conclusion:

If you fancy a change from shoot-em-ups and want to try your hand at tactics then give this one a go or if you want to try your hand at some 'fibua' (fighting in built up areas) action then this one may well be for you but personally I did not think much of this game.
