J A 2 with Less Content and better Graphics.
posted by Augustous Jun 1, 2012
This is basically the same game as the original Jagged Alliance 2 Gold with better graphics. It has the almost exactly the same story line and game map. The original J A 2 was one of the best games of it's time when it came out 7 or 8 years ago when PC's weren't nearly as good. That is why I bought this game. I was disappointed that there was no new plot or map and they left out much of the content from the original game that added humor, complexity, customization and overall polish that was already there. For example there were cut-to scenes in J A 2 , were the evil queen smacked around her assistant when you would take a new territory. Also there was much more subplots and options. Your hired mercenaries had more personality and it took some effort to manage them or they would quit on you.
If they took the original J A 2 and just added a better Texture Package and left everything else alone , they would have had a much better game. "Elliot ! You Idiot ! "
That being said, I did enjoy playing this game. The game reasonably stable. There are a few bug's. It requires a STEAM account. The graphics are average to good. The overall game-play is good.
It is worth buying. I enjoyed it.
