A WWII shooter that requires tactics
Hidden & Dangerous is a flawed masterpiece, an ambitious and innovative title featuring graphics and gameplay ahead of its time and some of the most interesting missions ever seen in a first person shooter. Ultimately the gameplay doesn't completely deliver on its promises--due mainly to some AI limitations and an inhuman level of difficulty--but there's a charm and mystique to this game that has always made me forgiving of it's faults. You begin each mission with four soldiers and you can switch between them at will. You can also pause the action at any time and go to a map screen (displaying a 3D miniature of the whole level) where you can queue up orders for your men as if you were playing a top-down strategy game and then watch those orders play out from a first-person or third-person perspective. The interface works very much like the tactics stage in the early Rainbow Six games except here you can access the map screen and modify orders at any time during a mission. Mission objectives involve blowing up targets, freeing prisoners of war, or simply getting through an area alive. In some of the most fun missions, you need to hold off dozens of attacking enemy units until a rescue boat or plane arrives. Despite the complexity of some of the missions, Hidden & Dangerous contains the clearest and most impressive mission briefings I've ever seen in a game. The only major criticism I have with the game is how difficult it is. There is a choice of difficulty levels, but even on 'Easy', the enemy never fails to spot you and only requires a few shots to kill you. On top of that, half of the enemy soldiers carry sniper rifles, so it's much too common to get shot the instant you come into range, before you even know what hit you. What's the bottom line? If you enjoy realistic tactical shooters, if you like WWII themed games, if you love it when a plan comes together, then I feel confident that you will get at least some enjoyment from Hidden & Dangerous.
