Like the other games in this series this game will ramdomly crash every other mission, but the gameplay is fun and while the biuldup to the story takes more time then needed it's still fun. My advise is to save before and after each mission.
A gem from the past, filled with evil creatures awaiting our command. But this gem has some rough spots, mainly the difficulty in raising the level of said creatures. This results in the need for planning and outwitting your foe instead of overwhelming them by force.
First off, don't play this game on win 8. It tends to crash in important parts of the game and don't even hope to build that second island - it will crash at the end of the cinematic. The game itself is a lot of fun, tons of carton humor, like interrogating enemy agents in a giant cake mixer, stealing the Eiffel tower. The style of the game works well, you really get the feel of controlling a group like Blowfelts SPECTER, you get a ton of nasty traps and rooms to build and minions in lots of different types. But at times you really feel like gunning them down. The social minions are the worst, they tend to die in vast numbers. Regretfully you need them, both to deal with fires in your base and to complete acts of infamy - that you need to complete in order to advance the game story. Your enemies are the worlds superpowers, they will send waves of different agent types after you. The strength of these agents will depend on just how badly you've upset a given superpower. Every act of infamy you complete will anger the target superpower and in time they will send 'Bond' like super agents after you. Their a total pain, but in time you can find out there weakness. And yes, finishing them off is very satisfying. But for some reason the games designer's missed a lot of important game elements out of the game. Their are two islands/maps, both part of the story and that's it, just the main story. For its price its really worth playing, if like me you enjoy being the bad guy.
