 Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business Review - PC
Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business was a little slow to market and, as a result, it feels a little more dated than it might have if it had reached store shelves closer to when it was actually ready to go.
Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business does offer gamers a lot for their money, but a richer overall experience will be had with the original Jagged Alliance 2.
That said, the Jagged Alliance series of games are highly original, and although Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business's additions to the series aren't monumental, they do represent some moves in the right direction (hopefully there'll be a Jagged Alliance 3 and it'll be even better than everything that's come before).

 Jagged Alliance 2 (1999) (VG)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-09)
'Jagged Alliance' and it's multiplayer expansion kit 'Deadly Games' has built up quite a cult following with tactical and role-playing gamers over the years, 'Jagged Alliance 2' is no exception, using a familiar (and now proven) game structure, competent graphics and clever use of sound and speech.
For some, Jagged Alliance's game style maybe a little dated, (especially in these intensely 3-D biased times) and there's no denying anybody who has played 'Sabre Team', 'Breach' or the classic 'X-Com' will find themselves in familiar isometric surroundings.
Jagged Alliance expands on this, adding more depth, more realism, and a healthy dose of talented voice acting which add a huge amount of life to the proceedings, elevating the game from simply good to one of the best of it's kind.
