What the hell were they thinking?
Real War Review
Gameplay: 3/10
Graphics: 6/10
Sound: 4/10
Replayablity: 3/10
Opinion: 2/10
Overall: 3.6/10 ( Bad )
It says on the cover: "Real-Time Strategy With The Weapons Of Today's Military" and "Based On The Offical Joint Chiefs Of Staff Training Game Developed For The U.S. Military". What were they doing when they thought of such a game?!
Gameplay: 3
The story is simple. You are the commander of the U.S. Military and you have to destroy terrorist groups. Easy? Of course not!
The worst part of the game is the AI. The computer just keep rushing tanks and units in and keeps this cycle going and going until you lose. No tatics, just keep rushing like Ohama Beach.
The unit AI is no good either. Unresponsive and dumb. If you are under fire by tank shells and bullets and you have the weapons to destroy, what whould you do?
A: Run away and fire back if you could
B: FIRE back and hopefully survive
C: Run and find cover
D: Stand still and get blown away
Real War AI will choose "D". The units will stay there and get shot until you command them to shoot back.
Building is worse. Building a base is a painful work. Difficult and most likely a waste of time.
Graphics: 6
The movies are the only thing great. The rest can give a monkey nightmares. Poor blured men carrying a black stick, tanks that look like a green pig are a few the engine have to offer. The missiles are another thing nice. Launching a missile will have smoke trails.
When a unit is destroyed, it will fly in the air and land in a pile of black pixels. No amazing flares or explosions from tanks, just a tiny puff of white smoke when they fire.
Sound: 4
It'll score better if it sounded like "Command & Conquer". The unit are silent, except when they are firing. In Command & Conquer, the units will say "Yes sir?" or "Waiting for orders!". In Real War, they stay silent.
Gunfire sound are poor. I won't go further on how it sounds like.
Replayablity: 3
Skirmish keeps the game going. But all those dullness and bordom dominates.
Reviewer's Opinion: 2
The game isn't fun, rather a workout which ain't fit to be a game. I want to be entertained, not work. The controls are also a complete failure. It is damn hard to control. Uninstall button next...
Final note: DON'T EVER BUY THIS GAME.
