At the time of its release(OFP) I dont believe there were but maybe 1 or 2 gamesout there with the technology of in game vehicles. Believe I was still playin BHD, Medal of Honor an Delta Force Land Warrior(my my how far games have come in the last 10 yrs that in itself should be enough proof) til Joint Operations came out. Anyways if I remember right the the cover was catchy but then again if a game looks decent enough I'd probably buy it. Also being a US Army Veteran at the time there were'nt too many tactical/strategy based shooters that could even measure up to the realism of OFP, cept for maybe BF1942
