Another Axis Vs Allies game? Well... not really.

User Rating: 7.5 | War Front: Turning Point PC
For some reason over the past few years game makers have made a real effort to bring in WW2 into the gaming arena. War front: Turning point is such a endeavor that can be termed to be a successful one.

Lets start off with the bad points. As in many of the statergy games available today war front also follows the same formula. Build your Army, Find the enemy and Kill them. So it may seem a little too familiar for those who have done it over and over gain.

One of the biggest disappointments of the game for me is not having a campaign for one of the best factions available. Why this faction [even though is a core element of the game] doesn't have its own campaign I do not know. [May be you need to finish the game in all the available campaign modes before this faction is unlocked???]

The campaign also inst built up on a good story. Again a big disappointment for me is when two of the warring factions unite to fight a common foe very early in their campaigns.

Apart from that theres also the unnecessary Chase cam that really has no potential use but to show that the game is fully 3D.

And also the all too familiar WW2 tanks and infantry are back again with the same old abilities.

But enough of the bad stuff. War front does have some cool new units like the Sonic Tanks and Mobile shield carries that protect the units within.

The game is also quite realistic. For example a tank can kill a enemy infantry unit with a couple of shots but the tank can also be on the receiving end provided that the infantry is a anti tank unit. The missions are challenging and are not always focused on destroying the enemy outpost. Also the choices you make on the sub quests can make the mission harder or easier. The inclusion of the hero units with a few powerful abilities is another plus point for me.

All in all its one of those games that probably would have done a lot better if it was based on a different time line and with a better story.
