Man, what a game!!!
I already own this own, as the original JA...but maybe I'll download it anyway, 'cause here in Italy the in-game text was fully translated in a very BAD way (and they did a just slightly better job with the allmighty JA2...)...luckyly, the awesome speech files are there (are there in this download too? :whistle: )!
The only thing which hurts the title a little is the lack of a complex "strategy mode" like the one in the previous episode, but since it was more of a cadeau than a real sequel, well, that's no big complain I guess.
Anyway, that's too bad, since without a full tactical campaign there's less time and occasion to put the less talented members of the roster to good use...and the top dogs are available from day 1, so crap mercs are not needed anyway. (oh, yeah...cannon fodder!)
.
A shame, since the roster of this ep is the best ever (I just love not-yet-psycho-Buzz, Mouse, Leon Roachburn, not to mension all the losers from the previous ep...), and it was quite funny making the underdogs *almost* in the same league as Magic, Kelly and the rest of the cream.
But they still are a great fun even just to keep there and see what their lines are (the "touch other merc" speeches are the top!
)
One of the best series ever: too bad here in Italy it was very difficult to get AND the lousy job done at translating JA2 prevents you to apply official patches and mods designed for other series.
I'll have to buy JA2 Gold for that...with a credit card and overseas shipping, of course. :angry:
