I was really hoping that, given they had more time and improvement in tech, that they would take the opportunity to drastically improve on the first game. I'm still scatching my head wondering if the Authors of Left Behind ever sat down and played the games. Or better yet, had one of their kids sit down, play the game, and be honest with them. Its a novel idea, making a Christian themed game. Particularly using the spiritual warfare angle. And believe me, I wanted to see it done and done well! I wish this hadn't diappointed. While the opening video is good and gets your attention, the game play itself is still dull and repedative. It's like it was slightly updated and repackaged. The missions are cheesey and promote a shallow 'Christian' stereotype. I wish they'd done more consultation before repeating the same mistakes. A for initiative, Dfor execution.

I got this over a year ago at the Christian bookstore in the 75% off rack. I couldn't play it because it wouldn't install. We had our computer fixed a couple months ago, and now it works. I was really excited to give this game a try. But in my opinion, it just isn't worth the money, even if I did get it for 75% off.The game installed just fine. I started the tutorial to learn how to play. There are 3 different tutorials. I got through the first one just fine. FYI: I am a adult. I was frustrated, but made it through the first one.
However, I only made it a short ways into the second tutorial. I got stuck where it talked about how to train your recruit as a builder. It would tell you how to move, but it wasn't at all clear where you were supposed to move the person to. Normally tutorials walk you through step by step. It usually shows you which buttons to push and exactly where to click. Not this one. For example, at one point, you were supposed to send your new recruit to a camp. I had no idea where to find the camp. I thought maybe it would be somewhere on the gameboard. So I moved in both directions. I finally realized it meant a really small button in command box. But the tutorial was no help at all in regards to which button I needed to push or where it was located. I basically had to figure it out myself. Once I got my person into the camp, a screen with a bunch of people and a bunch of scrolls came up. The tutorial said to train your person as a builder, but gave no further instruction on how to do that. I just started click on scrolls and said my person became a builder. But I couldn't tell you which scroll it was because it wasn't labeled or anything. The next step was to create a bank for your unit. I figured out how to acquire a building, but then couldn't figure out how to convert it to a bank. I figured it was another tiny little icon. I turned it into a healing station by mistake. It said that I had created the wrong type of building (which I already knew) and to sell the building. I did that. Then it just repeated the instruction to build a bank. I never figure out how to create the bank. I couldn't even find the icon. I tried figuring it out. But eventually, I just gave up. I couldn't even complete the tutorial, so I didn't even attempt the actual game. This game was a huge disappointment. I wouldn't recommend it.
