It's true. Even though the original version of the game (the one I played) was seriously crippled by bugs, the fact remains. Hidden and Dangerous is the best war-game ever. It's not the individual game-elements that make HaD the best war-game up to date, it's the way it all comes together to create an atmosphere that no other game can rival. It's all about authenticity. It looks right, sounds right, and, despite the bugs, it feels right. You immediately get sucked into the tension, you fear for life as you sneak around the dark alleys trying to avoid the german guards, and you wipe the sweat from your forehead as you manage to clear the runway and take off, with a whole German battalion at your heels. Play the mission on board the sinking ship and you'll know what I'm talking about. There also a great tactical depth to Hidden and Dangerous. At any time you can access the tactical screen and assign individual orders to your men (if you do well there's four of them). A burst of rounds will most certainly kill you, and you have to advance slowly. The best way is to let the enemy come to you. Aiming and moving don't go together very well in this game (no bug, just realism). Hidden and Dangerous is, hopefully, as close as you ever get to war. What are you waiting for? It's free. It's updated. Go download it!
