It's hard to understand why this game was overlooked when it first came out. I loved playing it back in 2001 and I'm happy playing it again twenty years later. So sad it never had a sequel due to the lack of commercial success. A great piece of gaming history!
and his story "Dreams in the Witch House", this game is an absolute must-Especially for the price. Highly recommended.
After I had to start over for the third time due to lost save files within two weeks, I'm highly disappointed with this game. The scenarios are repetitive as there are only a handful of maps, regardless if you're in Russia, the U.S. or North Africa. It's always night and it always rains on tactical missions. Firefights on higher difficulty levels are somewhat ridiculous when the opponent shoots through the windows of two buildings and hits your character right in the back for 50 HP from 300 yards away. Two entire campaigns were lost because of cloud saves not working properly which was most annoying. Miraculously, the missing saves from two weeks ago reappeared with the latest patch, deleting the progress of the new game I started when these files disppeared. I'll give the game one last chance with disabled cloud saves before it will be deleted from my hard drive. I had high hopes for this game, but all of them were disappointed. This is not to say that PD is a bad game, but with a little more time and effort I could have been great. As it is now, its only mediocre.
Love the game basically, but the "No-Miss" mechanics don't do it for me. If you get hit from 300 yards away through two buildings - Come on, that's just ridiculous!
