General Zot Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Having been a huge X-COM fan (I still play it in a DOS window), I am starting to take notice of the Silent Storm reviews. They say it is the best thing since Jagged Alliance / X-COM, which means it deserves a look at least. Anyone been playing SS? Is it as good as people say, or not that great? Any opinions welcomed...

General Zot Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I bought the full version and have been playing it lightly for about a week. Basically, if you are an Xcom or JA fan, you will LOVE Silent Storm. This game is turn-based squad combat taken to the next level, I absolutely love it. It is slower than molassas if yo don't care for micro-management type games, but for me I lose 3 hours like it was 10 mins. The AI is decent, the different troop types are interesting and decently balanced, and more WWII weapons than you can shake a stick at. Add in totally destructable terrain, hiding/backstabbing, sniping, grenades, and the rag doll physics and you have a winner. If anyone longs for a good old turn based squad combat game, don't you pass up Silent Storm. Lovin it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I buddy of mine has it and I watched him play a bit after we replaced all the music files with our own stuff. It looks like a great game, but the system requirements are pretty stiff. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I tried this one, and really wanted to like it. What I played was a well-done game with an excellent system, and great graphics and sound, but it's just not my style I guess. I really wanted to like Fallout: Tactics as well but just couldn't get into it. For a Fallout fan that's somewhat of a sin, I'm told.
