    Unfortunately, a game sells on gameplay, and after four campaign missions I wasn't feeling any desire to keep going.
  2. Part of the problem is that instead of playing to the original game's strengths, what the developer has devised is a lily-livered RTS that's a pale shade of the Kohan engine on which it's based. [PC Zone]

    It has no bite, no personality, none of the visionary creative energy that have brought Timegate's other games to life. It's as clunky and flat as an outdated history book.
  4. 40
    What all of this boils down to is a whole lot of base building and management, and unfortunately, much of it is pointless as the economy in the game is fairly unbalanced.

    It's a hard lesson that designs are not always interchangeable, and is overall one of the most disappointing games of the year. [March 2005, p.72]

    Very good WW II RTS, which reminds me a C&C titles or AoE .
    Unique setting with enjoyable campaign.
    Worth to give it a shot even today :)

    Very nice World War II RTS game. I especially like the global WWII mode, in which you take control of Germany, Japan, Britain, America, orVery nice World War II RTS game. I especially like the global WWII mode, in which you take control of Germany, Japan, Britain, America, or Russia and win the war with the opposing factions, which are predefined and cannot be changed, so it's not like HOI in that regard. There are two campaigns, one for the Axis and one for the Allies, which are also quite nice. Quite nice. Full Review »
