Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge

Russian made games have a tendency to be very ambitious, graphically beautiful, full of funny punctuation errors, and serious flaws in game play. If they could ever come together and make their games playable they would be impressive indeed.

The concept of this game is not new, but it does take a great game, Jagged Alliance 2, and try and revolutionize it. New graphics, new theater of war, etc. However it fails miserably in functionality and game play. The game is ambitions, but incredibly hard, and extremely difficult to play due to the controls.

The say that this game is frustrating to play because of its potential is bad enough, but its frustrating to play just in itself. The bad guys lob grenades across half the map instantly killing your men, and you can never tell where you bullets are going to go.

Pass this game by like all other Russian games unfortunately as it is just not playable.
