BAM, DDDDD DDDD. No I've never been very good at machine gun noises, but i'm not bad at Operation Flashpoint. Crawling through bushes over realistically bleeding dead bodies, with one Russian... more

    4 Stars No nuclear missiles. You disappoint me 02/05/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Realistic, soldier-istic, and almost fantastic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Frustrating, high system specs and lacks oomph

    In an ideal world there would be no wars. But then, in such a peaceful society, what sort of PC games would we play? Because although there are hundreds of sports and suchlike presented in the medium of computer games, the most popular subject by far is war. What is it about killing that keeps the punters coming back for more? There is nothing that the average teenage boy enjoys more (except perhaps the obvious) than a violent, bloody, state-of-the-art first-person shooter. The games producers and publishers have of course latched on to this and we (the PC gamers) are inundated with new ... more

    5 Stars If You Want A War Look No Further 13/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very atmospheric and realistic. Great graphics, sound and computer AI. Groundbreaking. Includes free editor. Great multi-player. FUN!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Will need a decent computer to run (see op). There are a few minor bugs. Campaign interface could be a little more polished.

    Earlier today I was crouched in a hedge on the side of a hill. It was raining and there was the occasional sound of thunder coming from the grey sky. Keeping me company in the hedge was a dead fellow soldier who had misplaced his face a few metres behind him. I had only a couple of bullets left in my gun and there were enemy soldiers running around looking for me. Most of me knew it was only a game but this particular game is so good that the other part of me was absolutely absorbed… and I was a bit scared. Operation Flashpoint is a complete simulation of war – from the officers ... more

    4 Stars This Is War 26/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Realistic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Realism denies the graphics somewhat

    The first thing that attracted me to Operation Flashpoint, was the alleged sheer realism of the game. I'm not one for wanton violence, but I do like to watch documentaries on war. So naturally, I got this game. Was I disappointed? In a word no. When you first start playing the game, the main menu screen pops up. There is a video of 'in game' footage running in the background and you are presented with: Single player; Campaign; Mission editor and multiplayer. The Single player missions are separate from each other, yet there is a story running through them. It is a little confusing though, in ... more

    5 Stars Squadie action at its best 29/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent game with great graphics and sound

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I can safely say that this is the most addictive and also frustrating game that I have ever played. This game takes the role of a 1st person (or 3rd person) shooter. This game contains a mixture of both Project IGI and Rogue Spear, IGI for the stealth and Rogue Spear for the killing. But this game contains a new feature, this is that when on the battle field you may commandeer vehicles, these range from cars and trucks to tanks and choppers, you can use the weapons that are present in them. The overall plot of the game is that there is a renegade Russian general, who is fed up with NATO ... more

    5 Stars A three-in-one treat 29/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant blend of genres, realism, good multiplayer

    Disadvantages Disadvantages graphics lacking in areas

    Operation Flashpoint. This is a game that managed to revolutionise the entire PC shooting-sim market, and certainly for the better. Technically it’s third person too, but that’s the thing – Operation Flashpoint is the perfect marriage of multiple game genres. Want to fly a helicopter? You can. Maybe a plane? No problem. Or you could always just cruise around on one of the many ground vehicles, ranging from tanks to tractors. Operation Flashpoint marks possibly the only success gamers have ever seen in this area. Its sheer ambition to merge so many different elements is passed off almost ... more
