Hidden & Dangerous
Review by The Fool
"Simply a classic lasting for generations to come"
Hidden & Dangerous is a great game. If you´re a fan of Rainbow Six, Commandos or Delta Force or any other strategy simulation of that type, you´ll know what kind of a game this is. It takes the greatest abilities of all these games and more and puts them into a huge package of WW2-action. From the beginning of this game you´ll be having a lot of fun blasting nazis, sabotaging trains and factories, rescuing military personnel, escaping raiding parties, assasinating and even sinking U-boats. This game is packed to the limit with all the spectacles of WW2-heroism.
In one level, you have to go on board a sinking ship and rescue documents from inside it. That was one of the more breathtaking moments I have ever experienced from a war simulation. In another mission, you have to escape on a aircraft. While nazi military forces keep firing at you, you´ll have to defend yourself with one of the plane´s gun turrets. This game is simply gorgeous, excpet perhaps for a few flaws.
For example, In the first mission, if you position your men near a rock, they´ll somehow "fall" under it and get crushed. Also, your men might fall through the ground and die. But if you look past the minor problems, then Hidden & Dangerous is a pure masterpiece. The music, the sounds, the intense suspense of all the gunfights and the rush you get when setting time-bombs and racing the timer, this all adds up to the great gameplay of this great game. If you don´t have it, Get it. Or you will look back at this bad decision for the rest of your life.
