Summary
A tactical WW2 shooter with substance
The Good
Looking back on all the WW2-themed games crowding the market at some stage, The Hidden and Dangerous series stands out head and shoulders amongst a few select others for me. Why?
- Interesting, large and original locations and theatres of war.
This is the single most significant feature to me about the
game. Who could forget the desert and arctic missions -
yup - there were Nazis needing some attention there too!
- Balanced mix of slow paced and stealth gameplay
interspersed with action/gung-ho stuff. The relative
amounts of this just felt so realistic.
- Time - time to think about your decisions, take in the environment and observe your enemies. (Personally
the "on-rails" feeling of the Call of Duty series often
felt too rushed for me at times.
- Controllable teammates
The Bad
Some control issues and fiddly bits, though you'll actually make your way around it and it'll become second nature.
The Bottom Line
The "thinking man's" WW2 shooter?
