The Moment of Truth

[hykao]

Well, I got the sequel of the Death to Spies at long last! I give you some of my toughts and I'd like to ask some questions:


!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!

The graphics are even better, there are some more effects setting possibility in menu. We get more background infos in briefings, but less in videos. This time on English and American scenes there are a lot of English conversations (and of course Russians on Soviet level ). The soldiers salute if we wear an SS or officer uniform (or soviet captain uniform), and sometimes we can order a simple "follow me!" or "wait here!" orders to them. etc. etc.

But I'm confused a bit about difficulty levels. There are four difficulty levels, easy, normal, hard and diversionist. Dear Admins, please tell me: Is the hardest the diversionist? If you select this, you can't change your clothes, but the enemy reactions are normals (on hard level, the enemy reactions are advanced)! And what are the bonuses at level-end ratings?

Some negative things:
-some missions are too easy! (especially English and Soviet missions)
-French workers are even dumbs (French voices are missing)
-some features are too hitmanized (the videos, just like in Hitman 3, and Strogov's clothes and gloves on English and American scenes)


In sum, I like the sequel, as much as I like the original game, but I suggest you: play it only on HARD or DIVERSIONIST difficulty level!
(I like the "Bogomolov features" in the sequel, the style of "V.CH." texts, and the Soviet (Ukrainian) level things...just like in the Bogomolov's book!!!)

Fighter comrades! If you have any questions about the sequel, don't hesitate to ask me!

yes. on last level you can't change your clothes, but enemy reactions is like on normal. well, because it's already too hard for some people to play without changing cloth and still be in silenced mode ( without going rambo .. ). The bonuses in this difficulty level is some more silenced weapons ( luger with silencer - you can get ammo for that from other soldiers, and silenced sniper rifle.. )

what level did you liked more?

I like all the 7 levels. I've finished all on easy difficulty level (because of the easier test of my fan-made Hungarian translation, what I've also done! We found the video subtitles, and added a string to "rolik.shadvs", and made more subtitles for first and last (secret letter) videos... ...There were some really hard sentences for me, especially some of the "VCH" strings of last mission, but the Bogomolov's book gave a big help to understand and translate them... ) ...so I've finished all the 7 level on easy, and I've been finishing all of them on the hardest (diversionist) level. (So far I've done the Bletchley Park and Renegades with perfect ratings)
All missions are very interesting and perhaps they have some real historical backgrounds.
The rainy airfiled not far from Prague, the foggy castle near Paris at early morning, the Ukrainian village in august of 1944 , the Jagellonian castle at night, or the English people who talk about weather, or Americans talk about Hitman ...etc etc. are all very nice. Maybe the first mission is the most elaborated scene, there are a lot of possibilities to complete tasks. ("anti-aircraft" and "radio to group" tasks)


OFF:
by the way, what about Adventures of Captain Vrungel? I saw, it's been developing for a while! I'm looking forward to it! It was the one of my favourite cartoons of my childhood!
