Short and sweet

The Good
Well, every good thing I said about JA2 goes for this game, plus the fact that it doesn't require the original JA2 to function. The isometric graphics, the digitized sound effects and silly voice acting, and the variety of available equipment and tactics all put together make this one of the best squad-level combat games available. It's also a whole lot easier to play than JA2 because you tend to have more money and better weapons all through the game, and because you can now easily see where to have your mercs hide in combat.

The Bad
It's short. Damn short.

The Bottom Line
If you can get it for 30 FIM (or whatever) like I did, have a go, especially if you're a Jagged Alliance fan. I wouldn't buy it at full price, however, as it's really just a couple dozen (or less - I didn't count) new sectors with some nice new weapons and very little NPC interaction or plot. It kinda seems Sir-Tech are hoping people will be too excited about the editor to think about how little they're getting for their money.
