With a bit of practice and patience, I found the experience to be very rewarding. The squad tactics and combat were fascinating to participate in, and the scripted events in the mission were all very believable and entertaining. The full version promises a much more diverse experience, with vehicle piloting, controlling the entire squad, and a very wide variety of mission objectives. Graphically the game is somewhat of a toss up. It ran poorly regardless of the settings I had selected, and the entire game has a somewhat washed out look.
Colors are fairly drab, and the ground textures are only so-so.
Also, all of the trees and bushes in the game are sprites. While this looks fine when standing at the top of a hill looking down into a forest, once you actually go into the forest, things get ugly and pixilated. It can't really be avoided though, considering just how many trees and shrubs are being rendered at any one time. If each one of them was polygonal, the game simply could not run on today's systems. The sound was pretty good, nothing spectacular.
