    Had Cypron Studios and Strategy First done more to modernize the ancient design of the game's original release, this review may have been entirely different. As it is, though, Jagged Alliance is faithful to a fault, likely to appeal exclusively to fans of the original with no concern for the broader audience.

    This classic turn-based strategy game feels old and slow on the Nintendo DS.

    A really disappointing Jagged version for the DS: A lot of features were dropped: there are several issues concerning the motivation curve that drops down in later stages because of bad design decisions (accuracy, fire rate, different hit boxes, more "casual actions" possible etc.). That's why It's even not a good PC port, sadly. ,*-( Technically, the game isn't bad, but lacks of smooth scrolling. It's just a shame, that nothing new was added and the game feels a little bit "unfinished".… Full Review »

    Played the game - it is perfect! I used to play old PC version and I like NDS version, too. It is the same. I do not think the art is ugly. Hey, its NDS with small screen, low memory... what do you expect? The game is big, complex, quite hard with interesting non-linear story. It took me 3 weeks to get in the last scenario, but it is tough to beat!… Full Review »

    Good to see some people still care about porting old classics. Mathias B you are should not be allowed to review anything if you are going to half your rating score simply because of the left handed thing. I am left handed and the game plays fine, quit being a whiny child. You must not game at all because the percentage of games that allow for "left handing" is maybe 5.… Full Review »
