    Very entertaining to play through once or twice, but it does lack replayability and has some annoying bugs. The biggest flaw IMO is that you only get to build two bases in the entire game. That seriously hurts the desire to play it again. It's fun the first time through though, so a worthy budget-priced purchase if you like building sims.

    I found it quite replayable. Building different base configurations and styles, using traps, not using traps, all of it changes the game quite a bit.

    I had some fun trying to figure out the optimum position for base entrances without exposing myself to the agents too much.

    My main problem with the game was always those *&%@# soldiers. Take one step out of line and your whole island is flooded with ULTRA ELITE SOLDIERS OF DOOM who mow down your minions like nobodies business. And the firefights freak out the tourists, who run back home and tell the government how mean you are, which results in more soldiers....

    That's why I built a big freezer, tagged everyone for death and left the base on constant yellow alert. You'd think that the governments would get suss about what's basically a second bermuda triangle but hey, pollies are stupid right?

    Speaking of constant yellow alert, a handy trick for those who don't know it:
    If you click the alarm button (red or yellow) a second time, the alert level stays the same, but the siren stops.

    Useful trick if you wan't to avoid having to have everybody drop what they're doing to run and get guns every ten minutes.
