Jagged Alliance 2

rrraaaaAAWRRGGHhRAAWRGHHHGGHHHG

Having finished JA1+expansions several times in all difficulty levels, I tried hard to like JA2. Graphics and sound are certainly much better, they also added many new features. But in contrast to JA1, neither the story nor gameplay work for me, it's a tedious and boring experience. To give an example, JA2 allows you to save anytime now during combat. Great idea, except that it makes a turn-based game trivial. Unless the difficulty level is adjusted too, and that's what they did. Now you need to save/reload every move due to the much stronger enemies, which is frustrating and kinda ruins the gameplay. As others have pointed out, the game also has stability issues on Windows.

First of all, let me tell you this: I absolutely love this game! It's definitely one of my lifetime favourites. It's highly replayable, the number of guns and the sound of in-game gunshots make a gun nut like me drool every time. Why then only 4 out 5 stars you may ask? Due to poor performance on Windows 8, 8.1 and reportedly Windows 10. The game gets a huge drop in FPS to the point where it's barely playable. Now I know that Windows 8 and 8.1 aren't listed as the supported OSs but still it hurts me I can't play it normally on my PC.

One of the best games I played, ever!!!! :) Loads and loads of fun!

No FAQ's on internet or GOG. Guess I didn't have the patience to figure it out. If the damn game had a tutorial, it would merit 5 stars, for the amount of content, detail, and art.
