    There is hardly a flow to the game and with the poor camera controls and poor animations this is a title that is better off passed on.
  2. GameDaily

    The game looks and plays cheaply and lacks direction. Players waste time trying to conduct solo missions early on when the heart of this game focus on squad tactics. Terrible translations, boring environments and unintelligent enemies further ruin the experience.

    Even if the game falls apart fairly quickly, and has bugs and interface quirks that make the main story borderline unplayable, it still deserves a measure of attention and admiration.
  5. Worth Playing

    New Jagged Union is not merely a bad game when compared to its peers, but it is a bad game when compared to any titles released in the last several years. I cannot, in good faith, advise any fan of tactical strategy to make this a purchase.
  6. GameSpot

    Third-rate mission design, prehistoric visuals, and problematic pathfinding mean that you won't enjoy playing soldier of fortune here, even if the developers have added a bit of life to the squad-sim genre with a few design innovations.

    While this game may look good in screenshots, it’s an absolute bore.

    Camera control does take some getting used to, along with some other features. Amazing combat though. Awesome weapons and realism.
