    If you're looking for a real-time strategy title that takes a look at modern day warfare in a realistic fashion, this is probably about as good as you're going to get.
  2. 60
    A tremendous improvement over its predecessor. It's just too bad that the original "Real War" needed way more improvement than this to make it a great game.
  3. 58
    An improvement over "Real War," but only in parts. It's still a clumsy game to play with a major frustration factor.

    The A.I. is far superior to the original, having gone from pathetic to passable. [Feb 2003, p.97]
  5. The game's outdated look and obtuse artificial intelligence make it hard to recommend.
  6. With the poor storyline, unchallenging missions, and poor enemy AI, the single player portion of the game is totally disposable. With enough patience, players could find Rogue States worthwhile, in a multiplayer capacity.
