    Anyone who is into WWII games, or who feels capable of leading troops into combat, should give this game a try...with all the improvements being made the score could easily jump to 87/100.

    If developer Playnet.com completes the vision it has for this product, it is a *very* strong contender for Sim Of The Year, if not Game Of The Year.

    A great game for the soldier while in reserves or the history buff but for the everyday gamer it may be too technically challenging with two little reward.
  5. Game Over Online
    68
    One quintessential problem plaguing WWII Online is its incompleteness.
  6. FiringSquad

    Most gamers do not have a GHz+ machine, and the ones that do didn't get it so they could put up with agonizing framerates, minute-long loads, and poor graphics. Significant promises were made pertaining to the featureset of the game, and many of these have not yet been delivered.

    Currently, the game is a labor of love - it takes a lot of patience, but can be rewarding and very enjoyable. If promised features are added soon, this could be a good game.

    I've been anticipating the electronic battlefield for some time now and while it's exciting to see this first attempt, there's still a lot of room for improvement. The primary issue seems to be stability.

    A dangerous mess of a game that can't be recommended to any but the most hard-core game players in its current state. The real concern is that even if the technical issues are resolved, the design issues will remain.
  10. GameSpy
    55
    It's unplayable out of the box and incomplete even when patched. But if it can survive, there're signs that WWII Online could be a winner.
  11. Adrenaline Vault

    There are certain novel features and innovative efforts present, but they cannot overcome an annoying patch requirement, clunky interface, multiplayer instability, and an unfriendly gaming environment.
  12. Computer Games Magazine
    20
    Quite simply, this is a game that just doesn't work.

    WWIIONLINE is the only game I know of where a bullet is actually a bullet, not an estimation of a projectile with probabilities. Is thisWWIIONLINE is the only game I know of where a bullet is actually a bullet, not an estimation of a projectile with probabilities. Is this quantum physics? I hate quantum physics. Similar game mechanics are found in games like Oblivion where you raise your shield it actually blocks weapon swings or projectile, not a percentage to block and probabilities.

    The physics, realism and energy deserves a perfect score, the graphics are dated, and so is Capture The Flag dated. Seriously guys we've been playing Capture The Flag since the mid 1990's, time to move on and I don't mean people randomly spawning behind me like in COD.    … Full Review »

    This game requires that you have at least 1Gig of ram a 2.2 ghz system, even with that the FPS is very very poor, you cannot be a lonewolf in This game requires that you have at least 1Gig of ram a 2.2 ghz system, even with that the FPS is very very poor, you cannot be a lonewolf in the game as you are directed by other players as to where you will participate. The CTD rate is absolutely incredible, and you get all of this for the initial box cost and a 15 bucks a month. Dont waste your money on this stinker.… Full Review »
