Hidden & Dangerous

This is a hard to find item much like some of the Lego toys that are out on the market shelves. I have played this game once before and never got to finish it before getting married. Now, I do not have enough time to play because I am busy watching traffic while wiggling an 18-wheeler down the tight narrow street of some of the big cities. The more people know about being able to find hard-to-find items, is always a pleasure to do business. Thanks Amazon

Compelling and Immersive but...

A great game combined with compelling scenarios. It is similar to Rainbow Six but I found H&D to be much easier to set up teams and weapons and to map out strategies. The scenarios are all different and pull you in (unlike Delta force where each mission seemed like the one before). Some bugs in the program that lead to system crashes and hangups from time to time keep this from being a 5 star game. Even so, I won't hesitate to buy version 2 if it is ever released.

Pretty good!

ITs a good game! If you've ever played the game Medal of Honor and u liked that then i KNOW youll love this. its weapons are to scale and have the same accuracy as the real counterparts. its fun entertaining and not all the typical missions from other video games. I think u should get it!

This is a very smart 'soldier sim' - less anal than 'Rainbow Six' but much stricter than 'Delta Force'. You guide a set of WW2 SAS commandos through a set of superbly-designed, 'Where Eagles Dare'-style missions, whilst being shot at by extremely accurate Nazi guards. After a short while getting used to the game controls (your soldiers move around realistically - unlike other games, they don't glide effortlessly over the ground) you can order your men around, fight effectively, plant bombs and do all kinds of commando things. The tension is palpable, the presentation is excellent (especially the music, performed by a proper orchestra), and the chance to act out childhood fantasies with a captured MP40 is irresistable.

That said, it could have been a lot better. The initial release was bugged to blue blazes, and despite a patch, it still feels shaky. The AI makes lots of odd mistakes, your soldiers are unusually flimsy (particularly on uneven ground, where they tend to trip and fall and die), and the enemy soldiers are unfeasibly hyper-accurate from a map-length away. Furthermore, a couple of the 'end-of-episode' missions are ferociously, unfairly tough, and you'll probably cheat out of frustration.

Still, when it works, it's one of the best games around - combining lots of tense sneaking with moments of violent action and excellent, varied mission designs.

The best WW II game yet played!

You need some serious hardware to play, but if you have it your in for a great game and at the current Amazon price it is one of the best buys out there. I first tried to play this game on an older computer with only 4 meg of video and 64 meg of ram, it locked it up every time within a few seconds of game play. I am running it on my new computer with 16 meg of video and 128 meg of ram and it runs great. So if you do not have the suggested hardware don't even attempt to run it.

If you do have the hardware you are in for one of the best games yet released on WW II first person or third person combat. I have played the game completely through in the "easy" mode and it is still quite difficult and took many restarts to get through.

You are in command of a four man "SAS" team in Italy, Germany, France and Yugoslavia. In all kinds of conditions ranging from rain to snow to city streets you fight your way through the German forces to accomplish many realistic missions. You have the ability to steal and drive everything from Boats, Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Half-tracks and Tanks. While in these vehicles you can use your weapons or the installed weapons. You steal and use the enemies personal weapons after you kill them. Personal weapons range from the Sub-machine guns of the time, to sniper rifles, grenades and pistols to Bazookas and Panzerfaust's.

The terrain is great with realistic sound effects and things like dog's barking at you while on guard duty, to cars and street cars driving by. This is why the large video memory is a must have.

I am now starting the "Devils Bridge" game and am waiting on the second version of Hidden and Dangerous.

Again a very best buy.

Don't underestimate this game.

Hidden and Dangerous was one of my first games to ever play for the pc. To me it is my all time favorite game. I first beat it without any codes and believe me it was not easy, infact it took me over three weeks to beat it. But after I put the codes in and had fun with it. I recommend for the rookie and even medium skilled player to slap on the codes while playing the game, its still a challenge. Don't let this game go by, get it now. Also check out it add on, 'Devils Bridge'. For all your codes go to Cheatcc.com. Again this is a fabulous game, don't let it slip away!

Best WW2 Infantry game I have played

This game really draws you in and makes you feel "there". With the 1.3 patch, most of the bugs are gone, and it only hangs occasionally now. Save often, just to be sure.

The best part is you have to think out your moves, and not just run in "Quake-style" with guns blazing (especially against the large machine gun nests). Team tactics make this fun.

It's been a great trainer for me in WW2 infantry tactics while I wait for wwiionline to go beta.

Good but buggy

I love this game. You get many historic weapons and you get to kill Nazis. What more could you ask for? Very fun campaigns and the graphics are beautiful. Sniping and close quarters combat are both really good. One of my favorite missions was waiting at the extraction point for the Lancaster that's coming to pick you up, and holding out against hordes of Germans. My squad and I are machine gunning them and sniping them as they try to kill us. Now let me complain. I wish we could use the machine gun more often. The Germans are almost never out in the open in mass numbers waiting to be sent to the meat grinder. Also on my computer, the game freezes for a second or two at vital points, allowing the German to blow me away before I can react. It's very annoying. You'll need a lot of patience too, because you will be loading and reloading saved games like there's no tomorrow on some missions. And those saved games sometimes take a while to load up, and you may just end up getting blown away again in the first few seconds of your load, especially at the laggy parts of the game, where the graphics are real intense. Despite these flaws, Hidden and Dangerous is a fun WWII commandos game with many good points.

Excellent Action and Strategy Game

This is certainly one of the most impressive WWII games for thecomputer that I have played ever. The combination of strategy, teampositioning, . The realism of the game, including gore and the German language, were simply amazing, but used with a classy style. In other words, the game is not Duke Nukem style, go-in-and-shoot-'em. I recommend this game to anyone who would love to get back at those creeps of the war, or somebody who simply wants to occupy their afternoon with action and spine-chilling visual effects. END

MY SEARCH IS OVER! SQUAD LEADER IN THE FLESH!

When I was a kid my friends and I played a board game called "Squad Leader." The game focused on individual squads and tactics in WW2. We always wondered what it would be like to be in the game, fighting from house to house. Hidden and Dangerous has done that and then some! This game is dangerous from many different perspectives. If you have a significant other in your life DO NOT BUY THIS GAME because you are headed for a break up, or divorce court for sure! I hope you drink coffee to stay awake at work because if you don't you WILL! As one of my fellow reviewers has put it, time will fly and before you know it the rooster will be singing his song. If you love the World War 2 era and you have a gaming problem this one is a God send! The bugs that people mention are the only drawback, but it has only happened once to me. I believe that the patch should solve it all. Rainbow Six is an excellent game but H&D is much more interactive. In H&D you can control each member of your team, and they each have specific roles. The best is the ability to strip the germans you blast of their weapons, ammo, and uniforms. Be careful with grenades and explosives because you will blow your self apart if your not.

Bottom line this one is VERY worth your $$$$$$$! You will thank me for the bags under your eyes!
