Advantages: Excellent strategic game. Command your squad and live to learn by your mistakes. Disadvantages: Undetermined sights. Enemy troops tend to be a little suicidal and definately stupid
Owned Desert Storm and bought this sequel as soon as it hit the shelves. Basically the game continues where Desert Storm left off as far as the story line is concerned.
I cannot recommend this game enough. If you're an ex service man that has seen action you'll appreciate the sense of achivement that this game gives you although the buzz isn't quite the same! In command of three other specialists on missions within the deserts and urban sites within and around Iraq you can either control them or take control of them physically. However sometimes its better to let them get on with it as they react to situations with the best possible form. Graphically the game ranks with M.O.H. When an RPG flies past your head it really does feel like its just flown past your head. However I found that running off to save one of my oppo's in the midst ...
Advantages: More stable than some other Microsoft products Disadvantages: It's still Windows
Hail the fanfares! Release the beast! It's Windows XP! The oppo system no-one will be able to crack! Released on the Monday, cracked copies available by the Wednesday.
I do, however, use a genuine copy of XP - the edit already loaded onto my new HP Pavilion.
Now Windows 98 edit 1 and 2 crashed for a past time, ME was a bit touch and go - if you got a good edit, you never had a problem. If you had a bad edit, you were lucky if it ran for an hour before going pop.
So my hopes for XP were unsurprisingly low. I will admit, it is a lot more stable than ME and '98, but it still seems - like all the rest of the more recent oppo's released by Microsoft to be nothing more than '95 with fancy bits.
The interface is a lot more user-friendly, it's runtime is quick and the graphics aren't as garish as usual. But it does still like to ...
Advantages: Wipe people out for points Disadvantages: Too hard maybe
the overall aim was to score more points than the oppo. Each team had 9 players (Speedball 1 had 5) and points could be gained by scoring goals past the goalkeeper, wiping people out and throwing the ball at different bonus point areas of the arena. Each game lasted for 3 minutes and you could play through a season, a tournament or practice mode.
Each player had their own stats and look, basically they all looked like Rhys from Terminator 1, a little battered and bruised but ready to do a job. You could transfer people in and out of your team improve your chances but you always had issues with injuries!
The better i got at this game, the more i liked it (suppose thats with any game!!) but it was a struggle to begin with. Once i worked out a game plan and weak points of the opposition, i regularly scored enough points to win the game ...
