    This is an amazing game with OK graphics and a story/plot that can keep you busy with hours of exciting game play.

    The game itself is great, although a bit difficult at parts. The lack of in-game save means your going to play the same mission a few times to complete it. One great thing is the RPG style of leveling your troopers have. Once they get to a certain level, they are able to equip better weapons and power armor. Overall a good game for $20.

    I loved the game, I loved the idea of deciding who is in your squad, what thier names are, and what they are equiped with, not to mention the promotions and medals... BUT, I bought this game for 40 when it came out, and I'm still on the mission called "Classified" because as soon as I call down my Dropship, it changes my objective to "Save trapped scientists", which I have already I loved the game, I loved the idea of deciding who is in your squad, what thier names are, and what they are equiped with, not to mention the promotions and medals...

And the patch didn't fix that... so now I'm stuck with a $40 frisby, and that is what took away from the game in my opinion.… Expand

    Decided it didn't want an in-game save function and forgot to add multiplayer, a skirmish mode or the ability to change the level of difficulty.

    Mediocre. Fans of the setting may enjoy it, but not too many other folks will. [Feb 2001, p.81]

    While the prospect of running around, blowing the hell out of space arachnids starts off as a blast, a lack of variety, the fact that you can't save your games mid-mission, and a camera that actually serves as a One Ring-sized gameplay burden ensure that the fun won't last for long.
