Product Description:
Hollow Ground Special Edition is an arcade-style game that emphasizes action, observation and tactical skills. The gameplay is old-school, but the graphics are fully revamped to take advantage of modern hardware. One or two players can play at once using joysticks or the keyboard. Gameplay is quick and responsive as your mercenaries descend through 40 levels into a underground bunker to find the source of a plague of mutants.
The full version comes equipped with 4 mercenaries, 16 distinct weapons, 18 quick power-ups, 14 permanent power-ups and 78 maps. Endless variations, semi-random map selection and hidden trickery make HGSE truly re-playable.
Players can contribute new maps using a free separate editor (scheduled for release in the Summer of 2008). A Live Update feature provides an ongoing stream of new material as the creative flow continues.

Apart from that it also adds some new features:
* round walls, which look very nice
* height in levels - now you can use higher ground. once you get used to it it really adds something to gameplay. I wish more levels used it, but perhpas I had bad luck with my level selection.
* More new levels. Nice. I don't know if any of these were sent in by players, but they are of high queality and adds something to the game.
* More bosses! My breathing just about stopped when this big worm jumped at me at level 10 already!
* Some new monsters - most notably an irritating green spiritthingie that is hard to hit. A welcome break from all the zombies and grunts.
* More buttons, bridges and so on - makes for more varied level solutions.
What I lack:
* Some of the animations could have been redone. This is no big deal though, the game has its own graphicas style, and not many games has these days.
* More monsters. There are quite a few (around 15 I think), but the game would not have suffered from some more.
I've played though half the game, and I can tell you, it is addictive! Great stuff, I'm looking forward to Hollow Ground 2, whenever that might show up.
