An acquired taste, if you like to work out the old gray matter, this is the game for you.
-
PC GamerOnce you learn the ins and outs of the complex menu-driven tactical situation, the battles are absolutely breathtaking. [Mar 2002, p.78]
-
Those wargamers will be able to find little wrong with BCT. (Plus, it runs like a dream on the lowest of the low-end PCs!) It’s a complex game, but it’s a satisfying experience once you get your hands dirty.
-
Ovaldog gives BCT Commander a big two thumbs up! If your Hard-core, go get it!
-
It's a rigorous, realistic simulation of what it's like to command a brigade of combined-arms troops in modern warfare.
-
To get anything out of it, you'll need to do a fair bit of thinking and studying. If you don't enjoy a program of mental weightlifting in your entertainment, steer clear.
-
Those who love controlling every aspect of a battle, those who have time to spend mastering the cumbersome interface, and those who don't mind managing a daunting number of units may enjoy BCT Commander. Everyone else should stay away.
-
You have to own military manuals to make any sense of the thousands of acronyms which are "understood" in the game.
-
Niche wargaming at its worst: clunky, obscure, and sterile. It ultimately feels more like homework than a wargame.
-
Computer Gaming WorldBCT fails so dismally at playability that the realism doesn't matter. [August 2002, p.81]
