I was just thinking about this yesterday. Great game. Probably the best licensed representation of an Arnie movie ever made.

If you have an Ikari Warriors craving, I'd go for Caliber 50.

Exactly. True Lies plays a lot slower, giving you mission objectives (get key card, etc). Great game, but not like Ikari. The closest thing to that on the Genny is Caliber 50.

But Cal 50 is a 3rd person side-by-side schmup (In the vain of Operation Wolf, NAM 75, etc). Hardly a MERCS style commando shooter. Dynamite Duke was pretty decent for a Operation Wolf-style shooter as well.

True Lies' a good game, but there's a better, more in-depth overhead shooter for the Genesis: Soldiers of Fortune.

Cal. 50 plays like MERCS, not Operation Wolf. I like MERCS better, but Cal 50 is in the same vein and worth checking out.

Id agre that true lies is the best arnold game ever, but i wouldnt say its great. However its pretty darn cheap so all in all its money well spent.

Picked it up myself for 2$.

Soldiers of Fortune is the best top-down shooter ever, but I'd place it in a league separate from the Ikari clones. There's enough to it that it's really its own game.

I hated True Lies. I honestly don't know why... :\

I loved it, but like it was mentioned earlier, it's much slower. I'd almost liken it to a Metal Gear 1 without stealth elements.
