Addictive and fun, World at War is like Axis & Allies on steroids.

User Rating: 8 | Gary Grigsby's World at War PC
By bcsasso | Review Date:
This is a very enjoyable strategy game with complexity and detail on par with the Panzer General series, but on a global scale. It's a reasonable step up in difficulty from Axis & Allies, but not nearly as demanding as Hearts of Iron or The Operational Art of War. It likely won't appeal to Grognards, but is a welcome change of pace from the typical RTS for the average gamer.

Several aspects of the game such as "politically frozen" zones may frustrate some players, but make the game more historically accurate. Units are graphically represented which is more interesting than abstract icons. I find amphibious assaults to be difficult to execute at best. The most recent patch fixes most bugs, but I still experience a few lockups and the fixed resolution is a detriment. Skip the battle views and instead focus on the strategic aspect and you won't be disappointed. I found the game on Amazon for under $10.
