Dont Bother, just pray the real JA will still come out.

While browsing through the PC games section at best buy I noticed this title. I really should have thought about the fact that the only reason I even noticed it; much less picked it up to read the box, was that I thought it was JA 3. I thought to myself " FINALLY!" and of course was quite disappointed when it turned out to be some no name title.

I ended up buying it anyhow, we all know that some of those underdogs are awesome games... not this one. After only a few minutes I could tell it was going to be a painful experience. I stuck it out through the first mission to see if it got any better, but it actually got worse.

Over all design was pretty hooky, plenty of elements had been ripped from the legends of the genre. Controls were frustrating and flimsy. Story was more akin to a "Thunder in Paradise" episode than a strategy / mercenary theme one would expect. AI .... wait there was AI?

Little or no skill / input is really needed from the play in order for your characters to make it through a mission or not.

Final thoughts? Don't bother, don't even look at it, and I wouldn't even use it as a paper weight. ( though it does make a rather perfect sized monitor height adjuster at the moment ^^ )
