    A solid game that you'll have fun with. It's just a shame that the slightly annoying controls slightly dampen the experience. [Apr 2009, p.89]

    Fun and unique, but don’t get your hopes up. Don’t try to rush through, or else recurring enemy patterns will drain your patience. Let’s see if Abylight couples this fun engine with some interesting character and story ideas in the future.

    Summing up, we can say Elite Forces: Unit 77 is a pretty modest game without any new revolutionary feature, nor anything we have never seen before, but if you like the strategy genre and military tactics, you should give it an opportunity. Te game is engaging, specially for its elaborate story and the characters' charm.

    Uncomfortable controls, painful save points management and a bad A.I. could make the game frustrating. It might sound unbelievable, but sometimes this game is even funny.

    Elite Forces is an old school action game with little ambitions, but direct and fun. It has some problems, though: controls are a bit inaccurate, there isn't multiplayer (offline or online) and, above all, it has poor AI.

    Each level is too similar to the one you have played before, and it doesn't seem that the different types of soldiers or your own strategic skills affect the outcome of the mission. Some days you'll want to play it a bit more, but the rest you'll want to abandon it completely.
  7. DarkZero

    It’s poorly executed and ends up being a boring, generic title that can’t justify a place for itself in your DS collection.

The missions are a mix between straightforward action and strategy and are always challenging. The only negative aspect of the game are the clunky controls which force you to exercise. Nevertheless a surprisingly good and unique game.… Expand
