Description: Oscar Mike is an objective-based multiplayer first-person shooter. Players play as either the International Special Forces or the Fifth Column. The Fifth Column wants to plant and detonate a bomb at one of two bombsites, while the International Special Forces want to defuse the bomb or eliminate all enemy threats. Play online with 9 other people or by yourself against bots. Each round will last five minutes and the match will be played best of 11 rounds. Players can purchase weapons at the beginning of every round with money they earned from previous rounds.
The Fifth Column must plant a C4 explosive at one of two designated bombsites labelled A or B. Players must defend their sites until the countdown finishes and the bomb detonates. The International Special Forces must prevent the bomb from exploding, either ensuring that Fifth Column team does not plant it or defusing the bomb once it is planted. If ISF team does defuse it, the ISF team will still win regardless of how many players are still alive on the Fifth Column team.
Review: You could say this game isn’t worth the full asking price these days due to the lack of online players, but if you ask me Oscar Mike VR was never worth £14.99 in the first place. With the lack of other people to play with you are left with the single-player mode against AI bots that are as simple as they come and many times will just stand there and let you shoot them. I’m sure there was a time when this game was loved, but that time is not now and I would recommend you don’t pay much more than a single quid or so for this.
