World in Conflict
Review by zhuge_liang_
"War at the fullest"
I was thinking about buying this game since it's first release. I know I've waited for months for this game, because War Is Coming Home. I still remembered when ad after ad appear in this site promoting this game. Their effort was worth it.
My judgement was right. This game is amazing! Released 3 months before christmas, this game is a perfect gift to your loved ones who have a PC. Year after year passed for this game to be developed, as they always say: The first step is the hardest.
Grading the game:
Concepts / Originality: 10/10
Like no other. The only game that has reinforcements points, paradropped units and an amazing gameplay. Reinforcement points often start with 4000 - 2000 and that 4k can be used to paradrop units on the field. In other games I often observe that the units are created, not paradropped. The screen is turned by the mouse left, right, down and up and W for forward, S for backward, A for leftwards and D for rightwards. It's hard to go back to the traditional scroll screen once you played this game. A solid 10/10 score here.
Graphics: 9/10
Sort description: Up to date. Zooming in will feel like you're actually in a battle, seeing tanks after tanks roll out and ran over a group of infantry. No lags here is you met the system requirements for singleplayer games and the DSL or Broadband connection for multiplayer games. Some flaws I saw:
1) The planes that paradropping units in the multiplayer map "Dome" actually goes through the dome. In reality, the planes are ka-boom by now.
2) After the Dome has fallen, units can go through the side ruins. It's like a tank goes through a wall of reinforced concrete.
Sound: 10/10
Hearing tanks rolling in the battlefield, the missiles of helicopters, the bazooka of anti tank infantry, the artillery fire and the anti-air's missiles will make you feel the experience of war.
Storyline: 10/10
A total "How if"game, simulating if USSR invaded America during the cold wars. Peace talks fail and this war...... began in Europe. NATO forces lose officer after officer just to hold off the commies at Germany. See it for yourself, cause I won't spoil anymore.
There you have it! Just a recommendation for our readers who haven't had this game yet:
Buy this game, it's worth the money unless your computer can't met the system requirements.
