Summary
You have to hand it to the marketing department at CDV. In anticipation of the imminent Sudden Strike II, those clever types are whetting our appetites with a bargain package comprising the original Sudden Strike and it’s add-on Sudden Strike Forever. Tempted? You should be.
Sudden Strike is a tactical war game with authentic historical background and compelling gameplay. The player can control American, English or French units on the Allied side, or play as the Germans or Russians. Controlling the Russian army across formidable terrain presents the most difficult challenge to the player and features some massive battles. Players on all sides will find at least 30 missions of varying depth and complexity await them.
Sudden Strike Forever adds a wealth of new missions and features to the central Sudden Strike engine, enhancing the gameplay and providing the game's many fans with new missions, new units and new ways to play. Sudden Strike Forever features a British campaign of three distinct missions, complete with British units and World War II troops, thanks to numerous requests from UK players of the original game. There are also new campaigns to be fought as Allied, German and Russian forces, as in the original Sudden Strike.
For those who want quick fixes, there are also seven new single player missions to enjoy. Apart from the improved gameplay features, these also enable the player to adjust the difficulty levels, from easy, through medium, to hard.
One feature that has been high on everyone's request list and which has duly been included in Sudden Strike Forever is the Map and Mission Editor. This editor, in a Windows GUI, will enable you to design maps and get creative with the missions set.
A timely reminder of what a fine game the original is, Sudden Strike Gold serves as a taster of what you can expect from Sudden Strike II, at the very least. Get this if you can’t wait for SSII – get it anyway!
