| Playability: Here's where the game surprised me. This is one of the new ultra-low-cost series of games that has been released, so you'd expect the bare minimum when it comes to playability, but it is quite complex and difficult. There are areas where the shortcuts in the development make themselves known though. The games bare bones menu has four playing options: one player quick start, two player quick start, one player game or two player game. There is an options item in the main screen where you can choose the difficulty level (private, corporal or sergeant). Frankly, I found little difference in the difficulty levels other than the amount of enemies to cut through. You may be tempted to choose the quick start option. While it's not bad to get things moving and starting right in on the mission, you will have a lot of trouble moving to the next level with the soldiers chosen. When you select the normal game option, you will be given your mission and inside a helicopter, you will see five Rangers of which you can choose two for your mission. As each have very different strengths, its worth putting some thought into which would be the best pairing. Once chosen you can pick from a selection of weapons. I started outfitting them all with M-60 machine guns since they seem to have the best range and they're automatics. As there are two of you, the developers have included a few commands to allow you to communicate with your partner. These include 'FOLLOW', 'HALT' and 'ATTACK'. Its worth keeping him close to you wherever possible as when you get killed, you switch over to the other Ranger. You can also opt to switch between the two at any time. On each mission you are provided with a set of items that you can use during play. As the inventory screen is very slow and clumsy, pre-load the essential items so that they can be accesed quickly. The first things to load are the NVGs. You can spot the enemy more quickly with them, otherwise the enemy doesn't get spotted until you pan past him and a red (Kill Zone) bracket appears around him. Next ready the med kit for when your health is down, you'll need to bring it back up fast. Additional pick-ups can be found on each level, but use them sparingly if you want to get anywhere in this game. Once both of your troops are dead you will need to send for re-inforcements. Be warned - they're dropped into the mission at the very start rather than continueing where the last group left off. Worse still, if you complete the mission, you are expected to move onto the next one with the same two guys. This can leave you very short handed untill you uncover some more supplies.
