JMich: If you decide to bite the bullet, be aware that this game is not Jagged Alliance. While it may (or may not) be a nice game on its own, do know what you are getting into. There are already a couple of mods available for it at The Bear's Pit, though I haven't played it yet, so I can't tell you if it's good or not. But imho, the lack of Fog of War is a huge minus.
I really like JA2. I will pass until the price is right.
nagytow: People say that the new JA is more like Commandos rather than JA2. Not sure if it's true.
PenutBrittle: It's very true. It's a lot like if Jagged Alliance 2 was made in a Commandos style engine. RTS tactical action strategy, plenty of pausing to issue commands and quick saving. I personally liked it a lot.
the_bard: Thanks for the heads up. Ill pass on it then.
PenutBrittle: Aw, don't dismiss it just because of that. Yeah, if you go in expecting it to be exactly like the original, you'll be disappointed.
If you look at it like a new game or a spin-off, and if you like games a la Commandos, it's really quite good. Check out some reviews and decide for yourself.
Yeah, I'll wait. Looking more forward to XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I can wait on JA:BIA until it's a little more "heavily discounted".
