This could be a great game. The first game to give me the creeps since the original Quake. A good piece of work which sadly is so buggy that I lack words. If you see any patches (>1.3), go for it !

You'll LOVE it.

BEST GAME EVER! I do really think so. I love this game so much I even went through all the trouble of learning HTML, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver to make a site on it...

One of the Best Strategy Games Ever.

This game is incredible. The great historical plot is great, the missions are thrilling and challeniging and the graphics are the best I've seen lately. Like wine, even though it is relatevily old, it is the best game I've played lately, and one of the best I've ever played.

you need patience

The first thing that struck me about this game is the incredible graphics and sound put you right there, first person. You can hear what is going on in the many different enviroments you are placed in. You can hear the different kind of sound a footstep makes if you are in snow or on pavement or walking on a tiled floor in a German occupied home. The detail is incredible. You do need a fairly fast computer to keep up with this sometimes fast paced game. And there are some problems with the game freezing up on you or falling through the floor and dying. You can install a patch to fix this or make sure that you buy version 1.2 and it is already fixed. Stealth is the key to winning in this game so you need to take your time and think things through. This game gives you the flexability to use your own imagination and ingenuity to get out of situations on the battlefield. You can use tanks, halftracks, motorcycles, cars, etc. As well as dozens of types of German and American weapons. You can also dial up via modem and connect to other gamers and play together while communicating with them by pressing f4 on your keyboard and typing them a message. You have options of multple players by using a network connection or can play with one other by direct dial up. You may need to buy the handbook to this game if it is not included in the 1.2 version. It will come in handy if you need directions on how to use the multyplayer options. Many other military games do not give you the options of Playing in first or 3rd person, or the free will to explore your environment and take items that will be usefull to you on the battlefield so take your time and look for things in buildings, closets, etc. It takes time to get through some levels but you can save your game and start off where you left off.

This game was good about 5-7 years ago at best but is really outdated now. hidden and dangerous 2 is the better choice.

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.
