Pity the screenshots do not show the main graphics from the actual battles.
Anywa, it is a more serious shoot em up. More like Ghost Recon of yesterday in a way. Think of it like a sim of airborne ranger fighting. You have your mission, you choose equipment and you got and do it. It requires stealth, you can sneak up behind enemy troops, I think call for artillery barrage, etc. Very Very good game, but VERY difficult. One of the few ST games that I manged to actualy find a store selling a legitimte copy back then.
