    Brigade E5: New Jagged Union tries to revitalize a struggling genre, but gets almost nothing right. There are some nice customization options available, but that's about it. Combat is not fun at all, and the bad camera views and Playstation 1 era graphics only make things worse.

    Brigade E5 has the biggest choice of weapons and equipment I have seen in any video game and it is all usable. That in itself says a lot toward the game and its potential even though it does have some larger problems.

    My instinct is that, despite BE5’s flaws, it might have potential for modding or for higher quality sequels.

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