An Excellent RTS

User Rating: 9.3 | Act of War: Direct Action PC
By nerd_rock_riot | Review Date:
Well.... I've played my fair share of RTS's and from my experience there is just about nothing not to like about this one.... The graphics are clean and let you get right up into the action.... the units are balanced and varied.... The sound is great and gives a good feeling of being in a war.... The maps are designed well so they're pretty evenly balanced and varied from urban house to house tactics to larger more broad tactics.... The story if not transparent at least its slightly engaging and kind of fun to watch... The voice acting is convincing an un intrusive/annoying.... My only quibble is that it can be too easy to accumulate money giving you a near infinite supply of untis, making the game a wee bit easy.... other than that its pretty damn fun...
