While being a big fan of its first incarnation all those years ago, a word of warning: I have been unable to, as yet, find a solution to the Version 6.02 of Wildfire and Vista Large amounts of time spent searching the net for a solution, has resulted in me being disgruntled – all because I cant fit my serial key into the program to run it.

Wildfire adds some new weapons, changed maps and terrain like long grass, but fails to deliver a solid story. For the most part they should have just revamped the graphics and contents rather than try to add a new story line that you really don't hear much about after the initial contact. You don't encounter “drug barons” or anything of the sort. Also, this version is 5.0, I recommend waiting for version 6.0 as it not only has all the previous additions but upscales the resolution to 1024×768 (which really helps when you have a 22inch screen like I do) and replaces about a dozen of the mercs with much better ones.

Overall, the graphics are totally outdated by todays standards, the sound and voice acting can be irritating and poorly scripted at times (especially the newly added character lines) but despite all that, it can be fun and challenging – not as hard as some people make it out to be and the new weapons can make up for that.

Note: you may have some issues trying to get it to work on a Vista PC, try using compatibility mode.

Hasn't added much to JA2. Opposition is harder. Maps have been modified. Bit dissapointing. If you haven't played JA2 then this is a fun little game. But you'd be better buying JA2 as it's a lot easier.
