    Overall War World is a reasonably fun, good looking XBLA title. The biggest problem is mech balance, which hopefully can be fixed in a later patch.

    You’ll certainly enjoy the explosive chaos of these Unreal Tournament–style battles; but with only four game modes and limited match options, even blowing your opponents to smithereens can get boring.

    War World is a game that almost everyone should pass on. If you are a fan of mech games, options like MechAssault or Chromehounds are a smarter choice than War World.

    If you expect to open up your mech (or in this case, War World) to see this decked-out, snazzy, cool game, you are going to be extremely disappointed.

    War World has no personality, making it tough to get hooked on the average gameplay.

    This games feels incomplete. Very little instruction (and the instructions - control based - that do exist are deeply misleading), gameplsy This games feels incomplete. Very little instruction (and the instructions - control based - that do exist are deeply misleading), gameplsy is flawed and shallow. It's a well presented game as the ingame graphics are fairly inpressive for xbla. Disapointing.… Full Review »
