I didn't know about this game until recently and after beating it I'm ashamed to have missed out on it all there years. It has a great World War II set story, a great black and white aesthetic, and one of the few Irish video game protagonists. The open world gameplay compliments the story and setting, I found the combat and climbing mechanics fun, albeit with the occasional jank, though that's to be expected with games as old as this (12 years old at this point, sort of unbelieveable). It's a shame that EA shut Pandemic down and this game never got a sequel especially since, without spoiling anything, it does end on a sequel hook. If any of this sounds intriguing to you I would definitely check this game out, it goes for very cheap on sales.
Pleasantly surprised that this is the original MSX version of the game, so props for getting this edition on GOG rather than the crappy NES or DOS versions. Keyboard controls seem to work fine, however upon testing out my gamepad, the up and right direction buttons didn't work at all, I could only control Snake with the analog stick and the button bindings are very strange with seemingly no way to edit them. Until gamepad support is fixed, the definitive version of the game will be the Subsistence/HD Collection version because of how well the gamepad works for that version. But if you don't have access to any of the consoles the game was on and the controller support doesn't bug you, I highly recommend this classic.
