    Hmm... How do I put this? This one was pretty disappointing. The idea seems original (turn-based strategy mixed with one-on-one combat), but is executed quite badly. The fighting element is pretty much a nightmare, and ends up requiring little skill ("my guy's bigger, my guy wins, and vice-versa"). The strategy element doesn't do a lot to enhance the gameplay either. The game as Hmm... How do I put this? This one was pretty disappointing.

The game as a whole is mildly amusing, but I really can't recommend it to anyone unless they've been dying for a game that combines these genres. I am, however, happy to see another war/strategy game available for the XBox, albeit a bad one. Who knows; this could set a dangerous precedent. They desperately need to start releasing some quality RTSes for this console!… Expand

    Wrath's only problems are small but important: Loading unfortunately breaks up the game's pacing, the fighting engine could be deeper, and there's no online mode. [Feb 2004, p.90]

    Xbox Live support would have made this a must-buy, but it's still worht the money if you have friends to share it with. [Mar 2004, p.94]

    Definitely a thinkers game. And it's something we don't have a whole lot of these days.
