However much we may speak ironically about the ambiguous U.S. foreign policy, we will still not surpass policymakers Joint Task Force. The game starts with this scene: the hero, Major O'Connell, flying over the African landscape, thinking: "Not so long ago I was involved in organizing the guerrilla movement in this country, plunging it into chaos and devastation of war to gain control over natural resources. But now I have a chance to restore the status quo, overthrowing an evil warlord, whom I myself helped to seize power. " Quote inaccurate, but the meaning transmitted without distortion.

However, with gameplay point of view the history of Soviet officers look bad - we will attack and defend, and gets behind the Berlin Wall subversive purposes, and even fighting with American guerrillas. As usual, the rest do not give - always have to run somewhere and someone to save them. That's just a question arises: why did you throw about six straight from the tin targets for the campaign from the base World in Conflict, forcing us to take it again? And in terms of reliability of the mission over the Soviet Union turned faint - too much enthusiasm and traditional western cliches about the "bad Russian" (though, oddly enough, "good Russian" also occur).

Eternal enemy of humanity, wily adversary, has long reached the shower gamers. For many years, when the word Diablo millions of people worldwide recall sleepless nights in the monster-infested dungeons and the devil himself, created a fantasy developers from Blizzard. A lot of water has flowed from the distant 1996, and the evil forces still can not rest - clones "Diablo" continue to emerge into the light, requiring all new shower. Unfortunately, most of these crafts are not worthy and tail legends of the genre hack'n'slash.

Sacred Underworld (Prince of Darkness: Dungeons Ankara)

German developers of Ascaron Entertainment is still not resist the temptation and have revealed the world diablopodobnoe creation, christened his brainchild Sacred («the Prince of Darkness" in Russia). The first time the game world for the project with a fair amount of skepticism, only praising nice graphics in the screenshots. But Sacred justified all the hopes fans of the genre. More familiar to Diablo gameplay, intuitive control, pretty graphics, nice soundtrack, strong, though not particularly sparkling originality, but interesting, story, Sea Quest, vivid, memorable characters and, perhaps, one of the key pledges of success - a huge world of Ankara - poured balm on the soul of virtually every longing fan of Rogue RPG.

Of course, hunger neutolim players, and kill all the enemies of the original, customers have demanded continuation of the banquet. Sharpen your mouse and meet new dish - Sacred Underworld, in Russia, known as the "Prince of Darkness: Dungeons Ankara.

And lived happily ever after ...
Ancient Dark Elf Shaddar defeated, and it would seem, nothing prevents Ankara breathe easy. But, as often happens in life and more often - in fantasy worlds, there it was. Action add-on begins where the storyline ends with the original. In the vision Villiers is the spirit of Prince Valor. Headlong she rushes into the caves of Ankara, pulling for a hero - and, as usual, falls into the trap. On us as the responsibility once again to save everyone and everything, to exterminate the hordes of demons and close the gates of hell, through which offsuit nasty climbs in the world of Ankara.

And we are pleased - may just waving an ax, chop monsters. Be calm, gamer, as in the original, the number of monsters per unit area just off scale.

King's Men
Saving the world can now not only favorite characters (you can import old characters, unless they have reached level 25) - Gladiator, Forest Elf, Dark Elf, Battle Mage, Seraphim and Vampiress, but a couple of colorful newcomers - Dwarf and Daemon (or rather, demonessy).Focus our attention on new classes.
Demonessy - causing Dungeon Ankara, evil creature, it is not clear on what occasion on a path to save the world. Has the ability to transform - the demon in the bank, there are five forms: fire, energy, poison, flying and fighting shape. Horny lady is a good melee and magic are operating properly.
My favorite character - a dwarf (actually, no it's not a dwarf, and a real dwarf. - Ed.)

Quite fast, strong and tough, a resident of underground caves is the strongest master of close combat. Proficiency with axes and hammers - it's not so bad. This kuzkin's mother, he arranges the enemy as soon as it gets mighty lapischa a gun or a flamethrower. Then the representatives of the local bestiary is just a pity: to meet with virtually invulnerable walking meat grinder (which, moreover, sweeping fires and blasts everything in sight) would not wish anybody. However, without the traditional fly in the ointment could not have done - the most unpleasant feature of the dwarf is the inability to control the horse. However, most fans of fantasy and so knows that "dwarves do not ride on horseback!

Step-spaces
Ankara world widened to at least a third. Add six new regions, Jungle, Ruins Dwarfs, Pirates Island, Forest of bridges, roads and the Death Valley of Tears and teeming with hideous monsters of the form. As before, we have a lot to run from one area to another, doing quests.
Number of monsters at first pleased and amazed and then begins to oppress - a terrible form a fall from two or three strokes, and will be a long time before you meet the real enemy. For example, generous at Expo Dragon. In terms of Underworld very democratic - it is easy to be able to play like veterans of the original campaign (unless their heroes, as I mentioned, the level to 25 +), and newcomers alike - Demon and Dwarf available to us pumped way up to the thirtieth level (maximum declared - 216).

However, they have excellent equipment (a long time in the shops you can not offer anything more than decent), and almost half a million gold in the bosom!
Most of the games will have to wander around the new dungeon, situated on the added areas - get into the already familiar locations in a single impossible. There is a definite plus in this - to stray from the path is very complicated, vast areas are replaced by the beaten tracks in the thickets and extensive tunnels underground.

Prince or no prince?
Only by downloading and putting MANDATORY patch of the original "Prince of Darkness" version 1.66, install add-on. And nothing else.
