JA2 was the best.
I would pay full game price 60$ for an android phone version of JA2. Surely our devices can carry such an old game.
@@BusyShow why there is no ja for mobile phone???
For sure
90% of gamers who searches for the next JA game to play is someone who set the bar too high after playing Jagged Alliance 2. So 90% of the gamers will pass on this mediocre copycat who has 10% better graphics from the 1999 released game but also 90% less content.
Developers don't seem to understand what was so appealing about the series. It was the map control with militia, the training of off screen characters. The gearing up and looting and even crafting certain items. The graphics were not an issue, you were so immersed with the idea that you could be surrounded and ambushed at any time. Developers only focus on the turnbased aspect and the spending of action points.
@@hoodedraider i still don*t understand why no sequel on the JA 2 engine...
@@hoodedraider Yes, you became the commander. The game made thinking about the economy and equipment of the team fun and exciting. You had to squeeze out the maximum performance out of your mercs and situations that developed from your choices.
A strategy game where economics, strategy, operations, tactics and supplies are the drama and the onliners from your mercs are the icing on the cake is a superb game indeed.
@@beck103187 To my understanding the JA2 "engine" isn't so much an engine as it is a game - a lot of code is overly entangled with content (i.e. "hard coded") - the parts that weren't were gradually "externalized" (i.e. moved to various setting files so they could be changed by modders). --- I recommend Urban Chaos if you want a totally different game in JA engine thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=360431&&srch=Urban+Chaos
i wish we got a actual JA sequel where you could recruit a massive squad, take over towns, like the older games, there is so much potential to do it with next gen games
yeah but they need more competent people to program it that means they need money and money means politics and politics means the last of us 2
@@ahabduennschitz7670 tf it had to do with politics? And define politics since JA games always had a political theme
your wish has been heard
Jagged alliance unfinished business was my favorite game, I used to play it on my 24MB RAM computer.
The originals were more fun. JA1 and JA2 had a different feel that the modern ones can't seem to find again.
Just picked this game up for $5 at five & below. Never heard of this game and looked interesting. Nice review
Lol me too
Me too...
same lmao!
Me too
Haha me 2, I bought it at 5b just for test it, I never seen this game at the ps store
I hate multiplayer being forced into everything.
The MP in this is fun. The only thing that is fun about the game...
You don't have to play it. The single player campaign is just as fun
Damn I wish there were more games like this on console. This is solid. DOS2 is sublime. But what else...?
I finished the old JA2 game on PC and playing this now on PS5. It's actually a really fun game. Just go into it expecting a somewhat slimmer experience (2 characters, not a full squad) and you'll have lots of fun. I'm not sure why this review says the ui elements don't work well. To me they work quite well a few smaller glitches aside. Chosing different types of actions or shots is easy. It's very Xcom like in a good way. It's not as good Xcom in terms of animation quality but it doesn't take away from the fun. I love how they retained many of the old favourite characters from JA and their personalities. I picked Ivan of course as one of my two chars. Definitely a fun game for JA fans.
Go for JA2 1.13.
I haven't played Jagged Alliance since the first one came out.
The nostalgia...
Why not play JA2 then? I'm almost jealous of the fun you could have if you get back into it ^^
JA2 is the perfect continue like Terminator 2!!
Heh, I played the shit out of 1, Deadly Games and 2. I helped kickstart Back in Action, and while it was ok and I feel I got my moneys worth, it wasn't nearly as great.
Think I'll be heading to Steam to buy 2 =)
Edit. "On September 17, 2021, during the THQ Nordic 10th Anniversary Digital Showcase Jagged Alliance 3 was announced for PC, now in development by Haemimont Games."
Great video!
Thank you! Finaly a fair review.
If you liked other classic 90s turn-based tactical games like UFO: Enemy Unknown, you will enjoy Jagged Alliance 2. Ignore every other game in the series.
JA2 was great in its time but the 2d presentation just doesn't cut it anymore. I think JA: Rage is a decent entry until a more comprehensive sequel is out.
@@TheChannel1978 No, JA2 is still good.
@@TheChannel1978 no, dont play rage, play JA2, cant handle 2d its their problem, they wont be having fun.
How do you rotate the map 360 degrees?
played the first version called J.A. Deadly Game's. Back in the 90's. Loved the idea, of the particular effect's that were based on individual personality & quirk's. That every character in a squad you assembled even { before beginning the game }had to work together in a cohesive plan of action.
Deadly Games was the second game in the series.
This game is at five below for 5 bucks.
Nothing like the JA2. This is total crap compared to the old game which had depth, complexity and will be remembered like one of the gaming masterpieces. This one will fall into nothingness, no one will remember it in just a year or so.
Why so salty? I finished JA2 and this is a nice trip down memory lane in a similar, albeit simpler and shorter format. Maybe it's not for you, but I'll remember it. It's the first 3d JA I bothered playing.
Nice game and nice review, thanks.
looks at those screens... So, they took the most iconic mercs from the original games (Raven, Shadow, Ivan, etc) killed all the other mercs for cheap drama and to justify new stupid drawbacks? I'm absolutely sure old fans of the series _loved_ it... Not that there wasn't cheap drama in the original games, but at least they didn't repeat the same set-up twice.
Sorry but this comic graphic including f*cking garbage crap faces is a pure insult for JA I + II
Another Xcom clone...
Nothing beats JA2 ...especially as JA2 1.13 which is still developed by modding community.
Not really.. Poor graphics.. Complicated controls and sometimes crapy commands.. And more... I bought it but im not happy
