<A href="http://www.nlgaming.com/">Next Level Gaming</a> has gotten up <A href="http://www.nlgaming.com/nl/asp/id_832/nl/reviewDisp.htm">their review</A> of <A href="http://www.buka.com/game/Game_15.htm">Paradise Cracked</a>. To keep it short, the author found it a little less than average. Here's a taste:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Combat is rough going in the start and if you aren’t careful will render the game near unplayable. Your main character can’t shoot to save his life. While you do meet up with a soldier early on to watch your back (named “Job” who, as you guessed it was looking for a job). He has so few Action Points that by the time he does get in combat range, you and him are both torn to pieces by the superior aiming NPCs you couldn’t attack due to lack of action points. Even later with more squad members this problem does not go away, in fact due to having to move each individual squad member with no group move command, it becomes even worse.</blockquote>

Then mayhaps it's better to let the <i>enemy</i> come to <i>you</i>. Just a thought.

Note that it's turn based all the time. Also, the english translation was pretty bad from what I remember. I didn't really like it.

Dont mind bad translations, they can provide comedy. Bad voice acting can too, but one voice I could not stand at all was Burne's (the wizard guy, I think) in ToEE.

I couldn't stomach the slow pace... and I generally don't consider myself impatient. I liked JA and XCom and I play a good deal of turn based strategy, as I loved MOM and AOW etc.. but I couldn't deal with more than 40 minutes of this game. The turns just took too damn long.
Loved Silent Storm though.

Mayhap if I had a far faster computer it would be acceptable, but maybe not.
