If you played number one, you already know how this goes. But this time it can be played as an RTS if you build a radar. Sniping is harder as you need to hit the window not just aim fo the red dot. But everything is faster, smoother and better than it's predecessor. Group teams can now be mixed, and even without a vehicle you are still a threat as your infantry ammo slowly reloads. However, the story doesn't let you choose teams right at the start, you only get that option much later. But it does have a nice long campain with a lot of missions.
Played this back in the day. Finsihed both the main game and Winter of the wolf. The enemy is smart, just using the strongest unit in droves won't work. The graphics are a little blocky but it is old. Also there aren't many games with this kind of story. The mix of some RPG elements also makes the game more involved when it comes to the story. Each team has multiple heroes who get a bit of a back story to draw you in. Only real issue is that (as of this review) it won't run if you have multiple screens hooked up. Otherwise, a good fun game with a bit of replayability thanks to the expansion.
Originally when this game 1st came out it had afew bugs that could stop you from beating the game. But thanks to dedicated fans that's all taken care of. Almost all of the bugs are gone, cut content has been readded. Even some ease of use options have been added like being able to buy skill books multiple times. The atmosphere is involving even with it's age. The voice actiing is top notch. The only places where you might find issues are the combat. It could be more fluent, but again for it's age it can be overlooked. If you're into White Wolf or the supernatural, this game will world filled with lore and keep you up at night. A must play if you are looking at getting VTMB 2.
