This game was the absolute Mutt's nuts when it came out. Personally I've found nothing like it since. The atmosphere, the gameplay itself all added up to a great experience, even with the typical American cheesy Gung-Ho videos which games still seem to have today.
For retro fans like myself, building Windows 95 and 98 machines to relive the good old days when gaming was fun and not so serious, this is an ideal title, along with most of the Novalogic series.
For me, Armored Fist 3 didn't do this game justice. AF2 will always be the star.
