I can’t decide if the wonky driving physics and cascading explosions are hilarious fun or a hindrance.

Did a few side objectives and then finished up the first major boss level. Pretty fun. The big, open level loaded with soldiers, tanks, and choppers forced me to be resourceful and creative. I finished up the level by frantically calling in an RPG supply drop while being slowly cornered by two choppers. Ended up shooting both down with rockets without the benefit of any lock-on or anything. Very satisfying

Played another hour or so. I’m getting into the thick of the game a bit more. Enjoying the game’s willingness to let you create your own approach, even if the gameplay itself is fairly limited and repetitive. There’s something enjoyable about circumventing the game’s intended route for a mission by clunkily stealing a helicopter or calling in a sniper airdrop.

On a separate note, the world design is pretty bland so far. Not surprising for an early open world game on limited hardware, but the game could have used more recognizable landmarks and exciting environments.

Began the game. Seems like dumb PS2-era fun
