Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But it is a real proper turn-based tactics game any way you rotate it, and it is representative of the core Jagged Alliance gameplay, unlike BiA and JA3.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Well, may be aside from the combat stuff which is probably the best and most polished aspect of the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Jagged Alliance Flashback has better controls, better graphics, and even better GUI than the first game.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That's why this game deserves a thumbs up from me and another one of course for the Linux compatibility ;-)
