Jagged Alliance 2

The game certainly shows potential, but I didn't get far enough to really find out if that's realised. The inability of dragging and selecting multiple units to get all of them over to the next sector was just too much of a pain to deal with. I've got enough of a game library to not be able to justify wasting time figuring out how I'm supposed to get everyone from one sector to the next, and I'd rather spend the time on a game which the devs got the basic stuff like that figured out.

The game has a 'speech' button in the options menu to turn off listening to strong language. And it warns before purchase that it contains strong language, so I'm not complaining about being deceived. I can tolerate any four-letter cussing but will not tolerate using God's name in vain. In this case, it was flippantly saying 'Jesus Christ' near the start of the game. Lousy programming choice. Also, when moving the mouse to the edge of the screen to view an adjacent area, the movement is very fast--jerky, not pleasant at all. There is no control for this. A built-in keyboard assignment does not exist (although the manual does a good job of putting all key press descriptions together at the end) and re-assigning keys isn't possible. Since I didn't go past probably an hour of play, I can make no comment on general gameplay except that I did enjoy the character set up for initial combat.
