The value story

Across all 85 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 86 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is cheaper than 67 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 73 percent. Hidden & Dangerous 2: Courage Under Fire ($9.99, scores 89) outscores it, and so does STAR WARS™ Battlefront II (Classic, 2005) ($9.99, scores 93). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

A great port that plays fine if you know how to use your brain and troubleshoot around the FPS issue. It might be hard to play if you're a helpless weenie-hut junior who can't figure things out on their own. Sadly the community discussions for this game are like 90% weenie-hut junior's.
