Hidden and Dangerous 2

World War II first-person shooters are plentiful these days, but Illusion Softworks (2K Czech) Hidden & Dangerous 2 attempts to set itself apart by offering players a complex tactical stealth-based shooter set in the treacherous and relatively low-tech days of the 1940’s.

You take charge of a squad of SAS members, choosing from a group of soldiers, each with their own specialties and characteristics. Having an RPG aspect, your members' skills go up as you use them in missions. Before each mission, you can select your team’s equipment, which is critically important as you may go for a couple of missions without re-supplying. The game can be played in two modes: first-person mode, and a tactical mode where you assign strategies and waypoints for the team.

Despite WWII shooters being played out, Hidden & Dangerous 2 is one of the few first-person games with enough depth to keep you glued to the screen until you reach the very end. From traversing across crumbling icebergs to raiding airfields, the varied gameplay offers a lot of action and keeps you wanting for more. The crisp gunplay is guaranteed to please with realistically modeled weapons and rag doll physics.
