    The Greatest Wild-West Strategy Game!

    *It has Bounty Hunters, Bandits, Cowboys, Train Robbery and an Action-Packed Great Plot with Cool Characters, Everything That should be In a Western Game. Wild-West never looked so Good in a Game, Until Red Dead Redemption Came Of Course.

    *Desperados : Wanted Dead or Alive is a Real Time Tactics Video Game developed By Spellbound Entertainment. It is a Stealth Based, Strategy game, Similar to the Commandos game. The Player can control Up to Six Characters in the Game. The Wild West setting of the Game is so Refreshing. For a 2001 game the Graphics was very Good. It was so Nice to Look at the Places of the game, and The Music is also very Good and gives the Most Western Feel. Also the Generic Dialogues and Behaviors of the NPCs is very Entertaining.

    *It is Set in 1881,New Mexico, where Many Trains have been Robbed by a Mysterious Bandit known as El Diablo. For the Bounty offered for El Diablo, a Bounty Hunter John Cooper takes the Job, Chased by a not-so-good US marshal Jackson. The Story is Good, The Missions are also Very Interesting and Engaging and Not so Easy. There are Some Characters, that Helps John Cooper as He goes on his Quest. They are - an African-American Explosives Expert and Old Friend of John, Sam Williams, a Brooding Physician, Safecracker and Sniper Doc McCoy, a Seductive Gambler and Old Love of John, Kate O'Hara, a Notorious Bandit Leader Pablo Sanchez, a Young Chinese Girl Mia Yung with a Pet monkey called Mr. Leone. Every Character has their Own Traits and Skills, so Player has to Use Everybody Effectively and Efficiently to Clear the Game.

    *The Gameplay Mechanics is Good for a Strategy Game. It's very Fun to Play. It's a Western Game that does Justice to It's Source. Although It's a Very Old Game and Not everybody likes Strategy Games, And In recent times, the Games are so developed and has Great Graphics and Story and Gameplay, Compare to that it's not that Good. But I Love this Game very much Because of the Nostalgia Fact and Also I was very Entertained by this Game and Always will be.

    *It is the First game in the Desperados Series, there are a sequel Desperados 2 : Cooper's Revenge, a Spin off Helldorado. But None Beats the Original game. Also there is a Prequel Desperados III released in 2020.

    *Desperados is Not a Great Game that everybody Should Play or Must Play Before Die. It is a Good Game, If you Stick with it You will be Entertained with a Good Story and Action Packed Missions. Many People who Played it Found it Hard and Left, used Cheat codes, but I Never had to Use cheat codes. This is also Not a Game Review, It's Just a Love letter to the First Western Game I Played and Loved very Much. It will always have that Special Place in my Heart.

    One of the best strategy games ever made!

    Desperados is one of the best strategy games I have ever played. This game really makes you think before you do anything. One wrong move and you're dead. We must think a lot while playing this game. Some levels took me about a hour and a half to complete. The FMV's are really great and the game play is superb. I give the graphics, sound, animation etc. 10/10. This game is really worth buying. Even though sometimes you might get irritated and won't be able to complete a level for a while. Sometimes you might have to use cheats but i prefer you don't use them as they spoil the game's fun.This game is very similar to commandos, but I feel Desperados is way better. Overall I give this game a 10.
