    Anybody who even kind of liked "Jagged Alliance" or its sequel should have already left by now for the store to pick up a copy.

    If you've ever played "Jagged Alliance 2" and thought "Hot diggity, if this took place in World War II and was in 3D, it would rock," here is your dream game.
  3. Game Over Online

    Where Silent Storm shines is in combat -- not so much from the combat engine itself, which is nice enough but which uses roughly the same mechanics (with action points and familiar modes of fire) as other tactical games, but in watching and taking part in the combat.
  4. GameSpot
    82
    Features a surprisingly impressive presentation, complete with realistic physics and some of the most destructible environments ever seen in a game, which lead to some very exciting unscripted moments.

    Despite a few glitches and omissions (no multiplayer or online options, although there is a map editor), expect Silent Storm to receive a noisily positive reception from the tactical strategy crowd.
  6. Cheat Code Central

    The game employs what is known as "rag-doll physics." It's meant to replicate the way in which a human being's body reacts to an outside force such as car crash, explosion or bullet. The results are great. Bodies flail and fly with such accuracy that it's sure to put a smile on the lips of you sadistic little bastards out there.

    Despite incongruous story points and sometimes clunky camera work, Silent Storm deserves the support of all right-thinking strategy fans. With its turn-based combat and destructible scenery it signals something fresh in the stale mound of World War Two games.

I HIGHLY recommend this game. The physics model, the turn based gameplay, and the tactical depth make it a must have! The game IS short on story and "being fleshed out" but is still worth every dime in today's market of twitch games. While it falls short of being the next X-com or Jagged Alliance, it will more than satisfy if you enjoy deep tactical level warfare in an environment that is destructible. The AI is decent, nothing amazing, but not suicidally stuipid either. I give this game a 9 and would have given a 10 if it had been more fleshed out in terms of dialogue and story.… Expand

    A great tactical combat game. The organic character development is great, and the destructive environments add a great deal to the combats. AA great tactical combat game. The organic character development is great, and the destructive environments add a great deal to the combats. A few small complaints - lack of multiplayer, short campaign. My biggest complaint came from the "panzerkleins" found at the end of the story - not only do they take from the realism of the game, they add a clumsiness not inherent in the combat using only infantry.… Expand

Dommage que le reste soit aussi foireux également avec par exemple une interface horrible et pas pratique du tout.

    De toute manière, même pour un jeu de 2004, ça reste sacrément moche (et limité au 4/3 de surcroît) et rien que le "dicacticiel", c'est la croix et la bannière. Tout le jeu est à l'avenant hélas, un mélange de lourdeurs répétées et inexpugnables, un ennui de tous les instants et une irritation permanente. A dire vrai, rien ne va ici, alors on passe son tour !

    Cependant, la poubelle me dit qu'elle est intéressée : elle voudrait bien bouffer et digérer une vieille daubasse de ce triste acabit. Juste pour la gamelle. Comment refuser une petite douceur à ma chère et fidèle poubelle ? Poubelle, tu es belle !    … Expand
