Grr! Super-soldier Andy McNab parachutes onto mobile

Grr! Super-soldier Andy McNab parachutes onto mobile

Okay, so we've never actually picked up one of Andy's military thrillers, even in an airport. (Well, that Dan Brown back-catalogue won't read itself y'know.)

But if you're a fan of The McNab, you'll probably be dancing round the house in your camouflage fatigues at the news that Finesse Mobile is publishing a game called Andy McNab's Enigma Force. He actually co-produced it, too.

The game involves completing a number of training exercises in order to join 'the regiment', before taking on a series of covert missions.

There are hostages to be rescued. There are bad guys to keep under surveillance. And there's a packet to be made from the book royalties afterwards. Although I don't think that's included in the game.

What is in the game is three levels of difficulty, and a sensitive control system where keys do different actions depending on where you are.

With a great number of military games available on mobile, Andy faces a tough challenge. But for someone who's used to crawling through deserts taking on the entire Iraqi army using just his teeth (is that right?), that shouldn't be a problem.
