If you love turn based strategy games with a few RPG like elements in them, then this is the game for you. With a colorful cast of mercs that have distinct personalities to choose from, an island crawling with henchmen with itchy trigger fingers and plenty of weapons, armors and items to choose, Jagged Alliance never runs out of surprises. The game might be a little hard at first, but you will eventually get the hang of the turn based combat along with taking care of your mercs to make sure they stay in tip top shape and also protect the parts of Metavira island you free from the hands of Santino. The only question remains..... Can you free the entire island, stop Santino and bring hope to thousands of sick children with the fellow sap from the trees that only exist on Metavira? Only one way to find out and that is to play Jagged Alliance.
This game is just plain awesome. Everything is beautifully made, from the backgrounds to the portraits of the different characters you talk to and the music is just beautifully made, really pulls you in. And the setting is great too, not too many games take place in New Orleans and center around ancient Voodoo curses and the like. If only Sierra could just let Jensen do a fourth game in the series, then it would feel complete.
