Cold Zero: No Mercy Image
  • Summary: The player starts out as Private Eye John Mc Affrey. Together with his assistant Jane he has his own detective agency. Because he is completely broke, one day he takes a job where he has to secretly exchange way-bills. The job is finished very quickly, but now his problems are really starting to grow. The cheated person, you see, is a Don of the Italian Mafia... John has now a simple choice to make: Die. Or agree to carry out more illegal missions. John decides to remain among the living; his first job is to steal a virus called "Cold Zero" from a Bio-Research lab. Was this a good decision? You will soon see... [JoWood Productions] Expand

  1. It combines the best elements of "Jagged Alliance," "Commandos" and the original "Postal" game into one neat package.
  2. The combination of elements from several different genres--action, strategy, and role-playing--works to keep things interesting. When flaws in one are discovered, you always have something else to fall back on.
  3. 40
    Combine one part action, one part tactical strategy, and one part dodgy AI, add a pinch of RPG-style customization, wrap it up in a third-person perspective, and what have you got? Cold Zero has its good moments, but they are few and far between.

    Not quite ready for prime time - an interesting concept (a one man "Commandos" game with rpg elements thrown in) poorly executed plus too many frustrating aspects like an awful interface, useless AI and irritating little glitches all over. It'll be in bargain bins everywhere very soon. Expand
