These are times of chaos. These are War Times.

    As usual, Multiplayer is where it’s at. There’s just too much good stuff balled up into one package here not to have two or more humans at the helm, bashing their heads against one another in an RTS royale cage match.

    Most of the time the gameplay never crests much higher than mediocre.
  3. Armchair Empire

    An all-right RTS game but compared to current RTS games it's lacking.
  4. IGN

    A pedestrian real-time strategy game that barely manages to offer up the basic mechanics that define the genre. Add its failure to deliver the spirit we'd expect from the setting and there's very little to separate War Times from dozens of other all-too-predictable real-time strategy games.

    It's unfortunate that the same level of fun didn't make it into the single-player campaign. [July 2004, p.73]

    The enemy AI is just as poor as the pathfinding AI. The enemy will send troops at you singly and in pairs allowing you to make short work of them. Even after you've spent half the mission killing off the enemy's solo suicide attacks it doesn't catch on and continues to waste its troops one by one.
  7. Cheat Code Central
    40
    The AI follows a scripted battle plan that remains virtually unchanged regardless of what strategies you implement against them. To that end the game doesn't have much of a real-time feel.

    I rather play a round of Wayne's World than getting my hands on this heat shit.

    I don't pass a day without thinking and dreaming about this game. It makes me sick every day from new on. I'm like mentally disturbed.
