As I try to describe this game, the first thing I think of is "The Sims". But now add tons of deadly weapons, strategy, and resourcefulness, and a World War 2 backdrop, and you have the basis of the missions of Silent Storm. When I first saw this game by a little known producer, and sat down with the reviewer copy they so graciously sent us, I was worried that I might not like it. But as Retro Studios showed us with Metroid Prime, and Silicon Knights did with Eternal Darkness, and store brand mayonnaise (sold at competitive prices) showed us, you do not have to be a big corporation to make something good. Silent Storm is not a game to pass up if you like strategy, war, or role playing games.
