Decent game with issues which means that your better off looking elsewhere for your RTS fix.

The only nice factor of this game is the heroes which make the game a lot of fun, otherwise the game is just standard RTS fair with major pathfinding problems.. explain to me how I force attack on the lower part of the map and my units run directly into a heavily fortified base to the north? hmm no other RTS game does this. Not even the "buggy" Joint Task Force. In fact Joint Task Force has much better graphics. With none of the pathfinding issues. Act of War this game is not. Nor does it run as well as Rise of Legends. CoH runs better without all the annoyances of repetitive music scores and general bad dialogue. How can you explain frame rate drops when manually using a turret using a 8800 GTS? You can't.

Bugs and pathfinding issues aside I can see a jumbled storyline..but at least the game has cutscenes. Also the game functions like a basic tankfest .. your soldier units are just about worthless.. At least there is no shortage of income.. since Anna when upgraded produces a nice 300 every 10 seconds. Meaning there isn't a resource cap.. unless you count your mine.. The game is okay.. but it is just not my taste.. I guess I expected more than it gave.. Graphics: decent.. but your better off with 2006 RTS graphical games.. Sound: good tank and weapon sounds.. but the music score is for the birds. Along with annoying soldiers/heroes.

Gameplay: has some issues but you can work through them my making small steps on the map with your units.

Value: I see two possible campaign paths.. it could be better.. but I guess its just expected of any RTS to have a skirmish mode.. My personal score of 6.. for being "fair"

    Graphics: The game is visually satisfying, but something about it seems older than it is. However when you zoom in on units you can see they are highly detailed and the game has better looking infantry than screens of Cn... Read Full Review

    Seeing all of the bad reviews makes me think that there are some very impatient gamers out there. This game is not cutting edge graphic wise but it makes up for it in the story and gameplay. I am in my 40's and I loved t... Read Full Review
