Joint operations: typhoon rising is what happens when you rush to put out a game in order to compete with other WW2 FPS shooters. Novalogic claimed this was the game to beat Battlefield 1942 - WRONG!! The graphics are blocky, the gameplay is choppy even with video settings at LOW RESOLUTION, enemy A.I. is average at best and almost all the time you get killed, u never see where its coming from. The game's original score pales in comparison to the music from BF1942 and the multiplayer they promised to be as smooth as silk on a 56K modem is utter garbage. There are numerous patches available for download, but you never notice the difference. I play on a P4 2.8ghz with HT Technology

Nvidia 128 MB Geforce FX 5200 Ultra

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

256MB ram

850 mhz front side bus

These are more than the required hardware for smooth play, yet the game is a complete mess. I play Battlefield 1942 on the same machine and the graphics are great, the music is fantastic, and the expansion packs: Road to Rome & Secret Weapons of WW2) are a great addition. Please do not purchase this,...even when it gets to bargain bin. Novalogic failed with this one.
