A very nice and frenetic game where you lead a small squad of soldiers in enemy territory. Most missions consist in shooting down everything in sight and destroying enemy barracks, others in protecting civilians, freeing hostages or removing officers. To do all this, you start with machine guns (with unlimited ammunition) then grenades and bazookas will be added to our arsenal. You may also, in a few levels, use different vehicles (jeeps, tanks, helicopters).
Each mission is composed by a variable number of "rounds" between which it is unfortunately impossible to save.
The first levels are very simple but the difficulty increases rapidly to the point of becoming absolutely unsurpassing after the first half of the game. Luck counts far more than strategy in my opinion. A fun game, quickly repetitive.
