What players say
Must have clocked this game 4 times as a kid so for me I had to re-live that fun. Considering the limitations of the time the tactics and gunplay/teamwork is impressive. Super cheap and awesome value especially as a whole pack.
basically just the first game from Red's perspective but it was good, the environments felt more detailed too
Much better than the 'Road To Hill 30'. Can be considered to play to experience retro feeling.
