Windows version

The title should be Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Period.

The Good
Hey, it's Jagged Alliance. What's there not to like? Most of the great gameplay found in Jagged Alliance 2 is still intact, in addition to more 'easy' or user-friendly character creation for those who did not import their star character from the previous JA 2.

The Bad
This is hardly a game, honestly. Compared to JA2, this is game is only 5 minutes (dramatizing). I mean this is a VERY SHORT GAME if you (somehow) didn't understand my previous sentence. The map is small(er) me thinks compared to JA2, plus the fact that they erased the 'train militia' option, this game became VERY easy to play. Basically, this game became JA 1: Unfinished Business. The one major difference between JA 1 and JA 2 was the militia option, making it more than a micro mercenary war game. The presence of the train militia made it a more macro strategy game.

The Bottom Line
It's playable. Just don't expect too much, in comparison to JA 2. Good thing it's a stand-alone game, Heroes of Might and Magic made better sequals than this. Doh.
