WINBACK 2 : Project Poseidon _ PS2 _ - Casual players should give it a chance, and Winback fans should rejoice!!
However, with it's repetition of the fan-based success it achieved with the first WinBack release it covers no real new ground and fails in innovation (even with new elements in play concerning the actions and controls).
Aside from the lack of substantial improvement and elevation for the onset of the new generation of gamers on the rise at the time, this game is solid and will bring any gamer-patient enough to seek it out-the benefits of a polished release that is both pleasing to the eye as it is to the shooter fanboy (in us all!!).
Any fans of the Metal Gear series should surely give this title a chance, but they would do well to note that there will be a lack of cinematic drama and thoroughly extensive replay value. And as I've likened WinBack to Metal Gear it is also akin to the Splinter Cell releases.
In the end, the WinBack games are highly underappreciated, and are so for a variety of reasons - some substantial and others heinously bias. Those that look to expand their gaming horizons will dig in the bins and browse the cramped shelves to uncover this delightful gem of a videogame.
Operation Winback is a go!!!
