    KumaWar doesn’t succeed at being a great game, but the fact that the levels are based on such recent events is a compelling reason to at least try out the game.

    The upside of paying is that new missions appear every month, which offers you a variety of experiences. The downside of the game is that the graphics won't overwhelm you and the missions get very repetitive once you finish them.

    If you can overlook some of the shoddy AI programming, both the enemy and your teammates, you can resign yourself to enjoying a relatively mindless shooter.

    There may be some benefit to the exclusivity that will result from the pricing.
  6. PC Gameworld

    If you’re looking for a quality tactical action game with loads of weapons, cool features, smart enemies, and polish, look elsewhere. But if your main interest is recent, real-world action (and the promise of at least two new missions each month), this may be your game.

    They've done a fantastic job of providing a six-course meal of pre-game data, but once you actually get down to business, it plays like a budget game good for little more than killing some time.

    The very sub par AI and difficulty of the single player mode isn’t going to be worth $9.99 per month for a lot of you out there, and even multiplayer fans won’t get much at the moment since there aren’t many people online.

    While I’ve never put a whole heap of focus on graphics, KumaWar actually manages to distract with its graphics. They aren’t pretty and appear more than few years old – think about the original Counter-Strike – and at times I mistook building features for enemy snipers.
  10. Gamers' Temple

    For all the hype surrounding its real-world missions, when you get down to it you’re paying $10 a month for what is at best a budget title shooter.

    How come the developer's don't realize the utter disgustingness of this whole idea? Making money upon having REAL people killed in How come the developer's don't realize the utter disgustingness of this whole idea? Making money upon having REAL people killed in REAL life? The main idea is to have LESS war and shooting events in the world, and you already have this kid expecting MORE war content than Iraq!!! Get to your senses, what you're doing is BAD by essence!!!… Full Review »

    I felt this was a realistic look at modern war and am expecting much from it in the future. I hope to see more than Iraq.
