can somebody say WARGAMES!
Anyway let's just talk about the pros and cons about this game shall we?
Pros:
- Easy to pick up and play! That is after the tutorial of course.
- Great, simple gameplay. Has incedible depth and potential.
- Even the graphics aren't 3d with all of these crazy effects you see in many games, it's really good for what it is. It gives you that computer simulator feel and i think that its over all good graphics.
- The sound does it's job well at setting the mood with the sound effects and music playing in the background. Very cold-war like!
- Small file size and over all good performance on my computer. This game can really bog down on low end computers even though it's 2d.
- Great online play and environment.
- Excellent interface and environment. Sets the cold-war theme/mood.
Cons:
- Can bog down on low end computers which is really strange.
- There seems to be some connectivety issues for some users when playing this game online. Hasn't happened to me yet but it's been posted on the forum.
- Graphics can be bad if these things aren't you're thing.
- Rather limited sounds and music can be annoying somethings. There's a sound of people crying and that tends to annoy me at times.
If I were you, I would pick this game up. For only about $20, I would say that this is a pretty good deal with the things you are getting out of it. I fyou aren't sure, then I suggest that you download the demo (only 50 megs) which gives you a good idea of what the gameplay is like. However, it restricts you to only two players in a game rather than 6 players (Which is so much more fun).
