    Classic, one of my favorite games ever, and still holds up. Very realistic and deep on so many levels. Play with your friends on lan or online with Tunngle

    Still not played anything even remotely like it - way ahead of its time and unique to this day. The gameplay is as satisfying as it is unforgiving. The smallest tactical variables can completely change the outcome of a skirmish.

    Excellent, I stayed home from work the first day I got this and I passed the German missions. P.S. They are my favorite.

    Coming from a war vet, game is fantastic. Callenging, and the editor is great. Nothing like creating some of those true to life campains that ole Grandpa had fought in. One thing, wish the editor for units was a little more simple, but I'll get the hang of it. Great job fellas!!

    Het is een erg cool spel met de echte authentieke units. De graphics zijn een redelijk, maar de soldaten zijn niet om aan te zien. Bovendien: ijzersterke gameplay.

    This is the only RTS, where you realy care about every unit. This is the only game, where you realy have to think!

    One of the best games ever. Ones that are even close to it are Close Combat 2 and 3.

    War is blowing things up! not planting farms or mining. Blowing things up the BEST way is what this games about.

    This game has great potential. The detail in some aspects is great; you have crew for the anti tank guns, etc etc... but the realism just isn't there. Tanks all have the same general gun, the infantry sucks, it is not nearly as detailed as some other war games in the realism aspect. For a real true wargaming experience on WW II, try out the Close Combat series, they are much more This game has great potential.

    Powerful graphics make this game "hot", the plot of the game is also good. It is the best RTS game I had ever played!

    This game at first was not very realistic, but now I've added Realwarfare 4.0 and it is very realistic. It is very challenging and is fun. I recommend this game for anybody into strategy or WWII games. I can't wait for Sudden Strike II.

    I have never played a game that requires as much thought and skill as this one. The detail is outstanding and it's a must-have game for any real time strategy enthusiast.

  1. But once you've completed the new missions you'll be looking for further challenges - this is where the online features come in.

    Polished and challenging, and the inclusion of the mission editor, new multiplayer options, and the new campaign for the British (which is quite good) make the tribulations well worth the trouble.

    The missions are a wee bit tough, but nothing a veteran player can't handle. This game is realistic enough to satisfy the wargamers among us, and exciting enough to satisfy the most jaded real-time strategy gamer.
