The characters in JA2 (the one I've played several times) seemed to have far more personality to them (Meltdown was always fun). Also the interaction of the Queen and Elliot was amusing, plus some of the things you can do like send flowers to the Queen. So far I'd say this is a good game to play through and well worth it, but JA2 seems to have more longevity.

No crew served weapons, nor drivable vehicles in the tactical mode. The big difference is that Hired Guns is on a 3D map. And in my opinion, the 3D environment is worth the price of entry. There are many good gunfights in the game, and I think if you enjoyed Jagged Edge, you will also enjoy Hired Guns.

My question though, is there any difference between the 1994 Jagged Edge and this game? Vehicles, crew served weapons, mortars, artillery, aircraft, exotic locations, new weapons, etc? Hard to get excited about a 1994 remake that hasn't changed any of the visuals. The gaming system was great in 94. If they updated it to reflect the new realities of 2009 Africa, that would be great. And if the UN, pirates in boats, or US intervention are mentioned that would be even better. Thanks for the review of Hired Guns.
