    This one is difficult to judge. The game looks very well produced, but the controls are very difficult to understand. Nice animation and a lot of options and "missions" for testing your soldier. If you play it, you will need the instructions. Graphics , sound, and animation are all pretty good and get the job done. Archive.org has a French Amiga and PC manual, which can be some help with a little translation work.
