Summary: MY SEARCH IS OVER! SQUAD LEADER IN THE FLESH!
Review: When I was a kid my friends and I played a board game called "Squad Leader." The game focused on individual squads and tactics in WW2. We always wondered what it would be like to be in the game, fighting from house to house. Hidden and Dangerous has done that and then some! This game is dangerous from many different perspectives. If you have a significant other in your life DO NOT BUY THIS GAME because you are headed for a break up, or divorce court for sure! I hope you drink coffee to stay awake at work because if you don't you WILL! As one of my fellow reviewers has put it, time will fly and before you know it the rooster will be singing his song. If you love the World War 2 era and you have a gaming problem this one is a God send! The bugs that people mention are the only drawback, but it has only happened once to me. I believe that the patch should solve it all. Rainbow Six is an excellent game but H&D is much more interactive. In H&D you can control each member of your team, and they each have specific roles. The best is the ability to strip the germans you blast of their weapons, ammo, and uniforms. Be careful with grenades and explosives because you will blow your self apart if your not.Bottom line this one is VERY worth your $$$$$$$! You will thank me for the bags under your eyes!

Summary: The best WW II game yet played!
Review: You need some serious hardware to play, but if you have it your in for a great game and at the current Amazon price it is one of the best buys out there. I first tried to play this game on an older computer with only 4 meg of video and 64 meg of ram, it locked it up every time within a few seconds of game play. I am running it on my new computer with 16 meg of video and 128 meg of ram and it runs great. So if you do not have the suggested hardware don't even attempt to run it. If you do have the hardware you are in for one of the best games yet released on WW II first person or third person combat. I have played the game completely through in the "easy" mode and it is still quite difficult and took many restarts to get through. You are in command of a four man "SAS" team in Italy, Germany, France and Yugoslavia. In all kinds of conditions ranging from rain to snow to city streets you fight your way through the German forces to accomplish many realistic missions. You have the ability to steal and drive everything from Boats, Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Half-tracks and Tanks. While in these vehicles you can use your weapons or the installed weapons. You steal and use the enemies personal weapons after you kill them. Personal weapons range from the Sub-machine guns of the time, to sniper rifles, grenades and pistols to Bazookas and Panzerfaust's. The terrain is great with realistic sound effects and things like dog's barking at you while on guard duty, to cars and street cars driving by. This is why the large video memory is a must have. I am now starting the "Devils Bridge" game and am waiting on the second version of Hidden and Dangerous. Again a very best buy.
