    It is so evenly balanced on all levels that you feel as if you glide easily from one operation to the next without any interruption. This is a definite have to own.

    A good game. Real-time fans may like it, and turn-based gamers will like it. And no one will deny that it is unique. If you're a big fan of the series, this fourth installment is a must-buy.

    It should be noted that patience is a system requirement for BITAW. Missions can easily take hours to complete.
  4. 75
    The inane storyline and often-excruciating pace of play make this hard game to recommend.

Only AI-seems little bit problematic, but there is a patch for it. blizgrieg is another problem because of electric power, but it doesn't matter cause power won't end that fast. ;) Super graphics and exelent tactic game. Those who don't like gary crispy's games but want tactic game are like in home with this one. Full Review »
