Hidden & Dangerous sets a new level of excellence for the squad-based combat genre. Players will find the game to be an extraordinary combination of tactical combat, strategic planning, and exciting action. Gamers will be responsible for leading a four-man squad of elite paratroopers on daring commando raids behind enemy lines.

Using a revolutionary new graphics engine called the Insanity engine, players will experience World War II combat action like never before. Hidden & Dangerous is set in a truly 3D universe that incorporates beautifully rendered backgrounds, objects, and vehicles, as well as realistic terrain. Players can easily toggle between 1st and 3rd person views during gameplay, including combat sequences. The game offers support for a wide variety of 3D accelerator cards, such as the VooDoo product line from 3Dfx.

Players will have 23 unique, immersive campaigns to choose from in Hidden & Dangerous. The game includes a roster of 40 international commandos, from which players must build their squad of soldiers to complete a series of missions. The advanced overhead mapping system allows for precision planning of squad movement and attacks. The game's powerful AI will put players' skills to the test as enemy soldiers can see, hear, and react to player's movements and sounds. In addition, sophisticated environmental effects like rain, snow, fog, and sleet will affect mission difficulty.
