        Yes, and it turns into killing space aliens like halfway through

          Who played crysis for the story. I remember it having good graphics for the time. Literally didn’t remember it played in the DPRK, I guess it is a chud game too. But to my defense I was young and the game got pirated.

            I couldn’t tell you what the story was beyond generic ‘North Korea is threatening to do things, and ALIENS’ nonsense; it felt like it was riffing off of Halo:CE with the wild twist halfway through

            It was in a tropical setting, but I can’t remember why the DPRK were there. It had good graphics for the time and good destruction physics too, but nothing as clever as a minor Half-Life 2 puzzle. I had it on PC and had a lot of fun with the level editor. It was easy to make big expansive levels and there was a decent modding scene but it was held back by the high performance requirements.

        Whoever (or whatever group of people) made Fidel’s lines were awesome, some of my favourites:

        “Socialists requires patience and I can wait for an eternity.”

        “Where’s your secret service capitalistic perro?”

        “Hey, I’ll trade you a cigar for your monkey, Comrade Nixon.”

        “Your stench reminds me of the 23rd attempt of my life.”

        “No escape for those who live like parasites!”

        “They fall as easily as Batista, ha-ha!”

        “Let that be a lesson to the bourgeois!”

        “History will absolve me!”

        “¡Viva la Revolución!”

        “I will use your stale skin to wrap my cigars!”

        “Ah! Only a capitalist pig nation would deprive their people of power!”

          You rescue him from a burning truck, and then you fight the literal hordes of MPLA soldiers, who’s only weapons are machetes

          It is as vile and racist as you would expect.

          Which really sucks, because while CoD is Imperialist slop through and through, Black Ops 2 made some really prescient predictions about drone warfare. Also an aircraft carrier called the USS Barack Obama gets sunk lmao

          Edit: nvm it’s even worse. You don’t rescue savimby from a burning truck, he shows up and stops you from saving a nameless guy from a burning truck, and then you go with him to kill hordes of machete wielding Communists.

      Less of a boss and more of an interactive cutscene considering you kick down the door and shoot him in the head.

      But also it’s a body-double and the real Fidel captures the protagonist and gives him to the soviets to subject him to commie mind control.

            Surprisingly they did with some. If you already have the games the full tours are free updates, but Baghdad and Saudi Arabia also have free app tours.
