Overall Rating
 3 of 5

Price Paid:  $21.00 from CompUSA

Summary:
I bought this game because I just felt like a multiplayer arcade style game. And that is exactly what I got. I liked it thoroughtly because it was all polygon 3D graphics and cooperative to boot. I just had one problem, replay value and lack thereof.

Summary:
Fun and Value. These two simple principles are at the core of Operation Blockade. Operation Blockade combines great graphics, stellar fast-paced gameplay and an unbeatable price to make for a great little game. Taking a cue from Serious Sam's defiance of games' ever-complexification, Operation Blockade delivers what gamers have always loved, but are finding in short supply these days: instant and simple sustained action at a low price.

Summary:
A good solid old-school game. Reminds me of some of the best levels in Beach Head (you know, that classic game from like 1987... no! not that crappy remake that just recently came out). Shoot and kill, and shoot some more! Who needs a story! I beat this game at an alarmingly quick rate, which is only a complement, because it is quite long in gameplay. This game is more addictive than crack. You just play and play and play... More times than once, I found myself saying out loud: "Eat that you $%#@& !!!!!"

Summary:
Addictive to the enth degree. This has to be one of the most fun games I have ever played. Simple gameplay laced with difficulty makes the game challenging, but not frustrating. The explosions are beautiful and the ships sinking and the planes crashing are awesome (tip: shoot the wings of planes, they go down in less shots). The sounds are beautiful! The screaming of dying soldiers, ships graning as they go down, splashes of water as bullets hit it.

The game is worth every cent, and has enough levels to keep you coming back for the rest of your life.

Summary:
Finally, a game that's easy to understand, and can entertain without having to study a 2lb. manual!
The biggest problem is falling asleep waiting to get your computer back, after letting your friends "try it out". They just don't want to quit!
This is "just plain fun"!
