What players say

Very annoying trying to run it smoothly with modern tech. Old direct X doesnt like new tech at all. Great amazing game. A classic so good.

The options to make a strategy to complete the missions it's very complete. I liked it, for a few hours its nice. The age makes it difficult to play
