"Operation: Repard..."
Gather around sold-jah's, cause I'm a gonna tell you a story about a game that's so nightmarish, it'll make you play frisbee's with it!
''Hidden & Dangerous'' - one of the 'ultimate war simulation games of all time', was one of those you'd only go & buy if you were really, really stumped with boredom - or if you put it on your Christmas list. And that week, I was so naive & bored, that I bought the cursed little bugger!
When I saw that this game came out on the PS-One not so long ago, I pondered how on earth it could handle so big a game. But after putting it into my white sacred baby & switching on the power, I could see exactly how & why.
This game looks.....awful. It really makes you wonder how the production team got away with it. Now, the display & the in depth briefs before game are quality - but they didn't tell you that you & your reparded AI team were gonna battle with bugs. Not four legged things....more like, the scenery.
It even gets so bad, that I remember what was looking like what could be a classic level turn so horribly, horribly wrong. The ship level. I don't have to say anymore about that mission apart from two taboo gaming words; ''Slow'' & ''Down''.
Even the goddamn cheats are flawed. I went into the cheat menu & selected ''kill them all'' - which is meant to kill all ''enemies''. Instead this resulted in mission failure, because either the enemies have acidic blood like Aliens, or the cheats just kills all the good guys as well.
Whatever you do when playing this game, do not expect your computer buddies to run on ahead. Because it seems like they've equipped ''I'm over here'' flags & Morris dancer bells on them. They're Kamakaze's at their most stupid. Even F1 driver, Katayama could last longer than them!
It should of been a good game, I hope the PC version actually looks like a PC version. I even feel sorry for those who bought this at full price when it first came out.
Overall, ''Hidden & Dangerous'' sucks like a Dyson & looks like the insides of your Grandma's incontenance pants. The cutscene's are horrible, & the ending is an even bigger insult to those who actually put up with this weiner.
Do yourself a favour, buy a BB gun & shoot your leg with it. It's a lot less painful than putting up this pap.
''Take 2?'' More like ''Take 2 Fingers & Shove 'em!''
