Guerrilla War
Introduction
Ah, this game brings back so many memories from when I was a child. I have played and beat this game numerous times, and I know I will be back again. What makes me come back? It's fun and its simple. This game is a simple overhead view of a war. You play alongside the civilians, fighting for their freedom. You have access to two initial weapons, grenades and a gun. As you go along you can upgrade you guns (unfortunately you die in one hit and those upgrades are lost). You can also hop into tanks and decimate everything around you. It really is a simple game, worth playing.
Graphics
The graphics really are not bad considering the age it came out. You get the overhead view and there is a decent amount of detail. The game takes place in a variety of settings, a jungle, towns, sewers etc. It is easy enough to get around, and know what your limits are. The fire does look a little ridiculous, and the effect is repeated when things explode.
Sounds and Music
This is where the game lacks a little. The music does get a little repetitive and the sound of you throwing grenades is constantly there. There really isn't much else to say other then this.
Story
The story is rather weak, but this is not supposed to be a story game. You are fighting for the freedom of the island you have landed upon. You fight against the current military presence. That is really all there is too it.
Gameplay
As I have said previously, I have played and beaten this game numerous times. I am not 100% sure what it is about the game, but it really does have its charms. The weapon upgrades are fun. Things do die fairly quickly, but so do you. If you want to keep your weapon upgrades you need to work on dodging bullets, tanks, and helicopters. You do have a set number of lives, but you have infinite continues, resulting in there being no need to worry about game overs. (if you are playing 2 player you can get through the game without a game over by making sure one of you is always alive, although this is easier said then done.) The game is fairly short, I actually beat it with my brother a few days ago and we were only playing for 30-45 minutes.
Conclusion
This game is worth playing. So many people don't know about it and are simply missing out. Do yourself a favor, play the game.
