Review:

This game was greatly hyped before release and the common opinion was that having so many locations would mean that they would all look alike. However, the hype was totally justified as the game turned out to be every bit as good as could possibly be imagined, if not better.

A superb game that could either be played as a graphical adventure or a good solid wargame. The graphics may not look special now but were state-of-the-art when released. Unusually for a game of this sort, the massive size did not mean poor gameplay but exactly the opposite. An all-time classic game that comes very highly recommended.
