Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge Review

The editors at Hooked Gamers have taken a closer look at Matrix Games and GFI's Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, giving the turn-based RPG hybrid a score of 6/10.
Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge -is- a murderously difficult game and it ultimately fails to deliver the promise of the license that was its inspiration. The narrative, a strong point of Jagged Alliance 2, is so poor that it discourages you from forming any sort of attachment to your mercenaries. The game lacks the personality that made the real Jagged Games such fantastic experiences.

Hired Guns had a lot to live up to, I realize that and I really wanted to like it. I kept on playing for much longer than the initial impressions warranted, hoping to find something there that would redeem it in my eyes. Because of my persistence, I found that once you have resigned to repeated loading of your game during combat to deal with the high difficulty, one may actually enjoy the game.
