Just wanted to say, finished it in 3 days. And I'm not very good at these kind of games, so a lot of F5 & F8. Overall, boy what a ride! The game holds both as a surprisingly well thought of and very genuine Japanese visual movie (I never remember felling that attached to my soldiers or cowboys in original Commandos or Desperados and all our main heroes are fantastically well realised) and a fantastic tribute to said masterpieces in actual gameplay terms. The pacing, the mission variety, the skill required to complete later levels (this game has a genuine difficulty curve, and as opposed to most modern titles is a challenge throughout) make it truly remarkable. The last couple of levels in particular are daunting at first, but quickly descend into a playground of your newly gained skills. Stuff that at the beginning would seem impossible becomes second nature, and you truly feel like an assassin. If you've been on the fence before, just do yourself a favor and buy this now, especially if you've ever played Commandos or Desperados. Finally, to the DEVs: a fantastic job! Can't wait to play your Desperados III, if you do half of a job as you did here it will be amazing..
