  1. New mercenaries, new toys, new game engine, an enhanced role-playing aspect, and more combat options combine to make this another winner from Sir-Tech.
  2. My only complaint about the story is that it's a little linear, but as the focus of the game is on combat, it's forgivable.
  3. A faded shadow of "Jagged Alliance 2," minus all the elements except combat. [May 2001, p.70]

    The best turn based strategy I've ever played. Truly replayable. The amazing strategic action experience more than makes up for any minor quibbles about the game's aging graphics engine. Expand

    Jagged Alliance 2 is one of the best turn-based tactical game to date, no questions asked. It has everything anyone would want in a tactical game: An in-depth story, finely created inventory system, a plentiful stockade of weapons, a mile-long list of individually hand-crafted characters, complete with a variety of voice-acted, unique responses to any situation and clever use of turn-based combat. This game has it all. If you came here from Steam's metacritic score link and you're wondering if this game is for you, I suggest looking at JA2's criticsm - Not its expansion (Unfinished Business, this review page). Check out these sites for criticsm on the original game. Average score - 9.0 IGN - Score 8.5 http://pc.ign.com/objects/003/003557.html Gamestates - Score 8.8 http://www.gamestats.com/objects/003/003557/ Gamezone - Score 8.5 http://pc.gamezone.com/gamesell/reviews/r11035.htm I highly recommend Jagged Alliance 2. It has awesome gameplay and an excellent modification fanbase (http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi). Expand

    I felt ripped off when I bought this. UB is very linear and you can finish it in no time. I thought that JA2 had much better gameplay and plot. I am glad, however that many people have made their own mods (especially Vietnam SOG 69, which rocks), thanks to the editor included with UB. Expand
