GS review is right about the clumsy interface. But there's nothing "wrong" with old-school turn-based games.

User Rating: 6 | Jagged Alliance DS

I agree with Gamespot's review when it mentions the interface. Even with the touchscreen, it never quite works as one would hope. Moving your team around the small screen can be tiresome. A smaller map might have helped. Sometimes objects -- especially when in a building -- are a bit too small and might as well be drawn with 4 pixels. I feel like I am squinting at the screen all of the time.

However, there's a great turn-based game here under the hood. Some intelligent effort went into the design of this version of the game. Sorry GS, but "Old-school turn-based" doesnt automatically mean "bad" in my book. For the ultra patient who also liked Jagged Alliance, they might like this. Even for fans though, the flawed interface does indeed bring the score down.

The game is rather complex and ultimately a bigger display would have fixed alot of the interface annoyances.
