Bought this game on an impulse because the box looked very good to me :) Gameplay: 9 As soon as you go online with this game you see it's something completely new and never seen before. You can walk, you can drive a jeep, a tank, an artillery vehicle, you can get in a submarine or on a battleship or you can get into a big bomber plane or a smaller fighter plane. And your friends can join you in the same vehicle and help out. It's a freedom and variety never before seen. The offline gameplay is kinda crap because of the bad AI but the game is obviousy designed to be played online. Graphics: 9 The game looks like it should look. Crisp textures, clear water and a lot of action on the screen at once. You can be riding around shooting at people from your tank while above you you see planes fighting it out and in the distance a ship is getting bombed. All that under a nice tropical sunshine with waving palm trees. In other words: the graphics are great. Sound: 9 A lot of war games have sounds that don't sound realistic. Even though I never heard a tank fire a shot, it sounds right in this game. Making a very steep dive in your plane will let you hear the wind howling by and you can hear if you hit the target when dropping your bombs by the sound of the explosion. Great sound. Value: 10 It's an online game with a lot of very good mods made for it like desert combat. You can always find a server with people on it 24/7 and joining a clan will extend the playtime by hundreds of hours. Great value. Reviewer's Tilt: 6 Very low compared to the other scores, but that is because there is also quite a bit wrong with this game. First off it doesnt feel quite right when walking. You'll constantly find yourself looking for a vehicle to get in as fast as possible because on foot it's no fun. The high system requirments also are a pain in the proverbial ass because my game often started lagging like hell when in mid-air.. Overall score: 8.3 It's a great game and a lot of fun, if you have the right pc
