Deadly Dozen (Pacific version) |

|
An old first person shooter that I had a good while ago and |
|
enjoyed immensely. ;) |
|
It was basically an 'inexpensive' FPS but unlike most cheap |
|
games of that time frame (early to mid 2000's) it was actually |
|
pretty well well thought out and executed. The small game |
|
company turned out a pretty good simulation of US vs Japan... |
|
with a small squad (I think like five grunts) of US Marines on a |
|
tiny island in the Pacific where they carefully slipped through |
|
the thick jungle on a special mission to wipe out some deadly |
|
enemy and capture some important intel. |
|
Gameplay is pretty solid... you can of course choose which one |
|
of the five guys you want to be and that includes some pretty |
|
nice weapon choices for your character, I.E. Thompson smg, M1 |
|
carbine, Garand battle rifle and so on. (or you can play the |
|
Japanese part with 'their' weapon choices!) |
|
You command your group... now granted, your guys aren't too |
|
smart and often they'll get stuck in a tree somewhere...lol...or |
|
go the wrong way and or simply refuse to move... BUT, they're |
|
actually not too bad, you just have to keep a fairly close eye |
|
on them and through your simple command interface prod them to |
|
follow you along (or move ahead of you in the direction you want |
|
as scouts.) One thing they do pretty well is move up and defend |
|
you or give supporting fire. In fact, if not carefully managed |
|
they can outshoot you and claim virtually ALL of the enemy |
|
casualties! Ha! |
|
:D |
|
Graphics are pretty good, especially advanced for the time |
|
frame...not on par with todays graphics, no...but still pretty |
|
good and not ugly nor an eyesore as some of the old games were. |
|
Again, the AI aren't genius level (which is good in some ways |
|
and bad in some ways) but they're very workable. (Both enemy AI |
|
and friendly AI.) |
|
There are drivable tanks, cars, jeeps, and so on (and they steer |
|
quite well and can be fun to use.) |
|
You can capture and use enemy firepower...both side weapons and |
|
bigger things like tanks and cars. |
|
There are options to play online... I don't offhand remember how |
|
to do it but I know it's in the game, but if I remember |
|
correctly it's a bit klunky. I remember having issues |
|
connecting but that was long ago with a dial up modem... these |
|
days with faster connections I would think it'd be faster/easier |
|
but as of yet don't know. |
|
I am presently re-downloading this game (a version that is |
|
supposed to easily work in Windows 10) and as soon as it |
|
finishes, I'll install and come back with a report on how it |
|
runs on todays machines! If you remember this game and have |
|
info or comments on it, feel free to post it up. |
|
S! |
