Video Game Reviews of World In Conflict
Customer Review: Great game
Summary: 5 Stars
The game was great and better than I expected. Some of the reviews indicated that it lacked "strategy." However, I think the storyline, gameplay, and graphics made up for it significantly. Also, part of the strategy or challenge involved was trying to find ways to succesfully complete the scenario. Overall, it was a good challenging game -- long enough, but did not take forever to finish. I look forward to the sequel.Customer Review: Overall Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
Single player mode has a decent story line and great cut scenes. It may be a little short, but the quality of the game makes up for it. Multiplayer is addicting! Great visuals with my single core 3.2ghz pentium 4, 2gigs ram, and x1950pro. Played just fine on medium/low with my previous 6600 card. The realistic sounds, physics, and detailed maps add to the overall experience. Deserves the 5 star rating.Customer Review: average game

the game is ok,it has its limits like ya can't make your own custom games,ya basically have to follow the story line,i am more into games that you can have a straight forward battle,but to each his/her own,other then that its a cool game,maybe its better online against othersCustomer Review: excellent game - online play is exceptional

Found World in Conflict to be as good as or better than most of the reviews. No problems with the game play using our Gateway w/ Core 2 Due E6400 processor and Nvidia GeForce 7600GS graphics card. Overall, well worth the $29.99 that Amazon sold it for around Christmas-time 2007 (which is far cheaper than JR, Circuit City, Best Buy, etc..). Price has since increased to $39.99, which still is worth it. Also: one website indicates that you can test your pc, to see if it is configured properly for World in Conflict (http://www.gamespot.com/features/6179006/index.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures;title;1). "Speedyme" says an Nvidia website (www.nzone.com) has a utility for this, however I have not used it since I have no trouble with my present system. Might be worth a look, before purchasing the game. I think there are also trial demo's on either of the two listed sites. Several reviewers indicated their annoyance at the story-line or how we are forced to listen to some of the main characters in the game discussing strategies, arguing, etc. Found this to be a minor inconvenience, and likely necessary while the software/computer loads the next scenario (otherwise you would be forced to see a blank/silent screen as you watch a `game loading' progress bar slowly increment). Once this loads, the game allows you to 'hit any key' to jump directly to the loaded scenario. If you wish to skip the ensuing strategy discussion, you can simply hit the Esc key (once) and the scenario immediately begins. Another tip would be to SAVE OFTEN, which will allow you to restart at a more relevant point, should you fail your mission. Online play is a real treat, my son signed on to a few different 'clan' battles.. he pointed out that there are totally different maps in the Online play, and you can also 'share' battle points (rewards) amongst your teammates. Battle points give yourself (and others) the ability to call in Artillery strikes, Air Strikes, paratroopers, etc..as well as drop needed reinforcements in designated drop zones. We also discovered that we could actually hear whomever signed on as the team leader (he must have been using a headset with microphone), although we did not hook up our mic to see if we could respond back to him. Not sure if that's a privilege reserved only for the commander.. need to research a bit more. We have not made it all the way though the game as yet, but once we do, we will likely explore the Online Gaming in more detail (which was highly rated). Lastly: one other complaint I saw was that you could not change alliances (you are always the Americans and/or NATO). This is true during normal pc gameplay, but not for Online Play in which you can choose to be the Russians too. Have fun!Customer Review: GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
this has got to be one of the best games i have ever played!!! The graphics are amazing when your computer is fully tuned. It is fast paced and you only control a small part of an army... thus, you use tactics.... yes, tactics. It is extremely realistic in the sense that air support takes time, you need to set coordinates and wait for a cirtain amount of time so you need...Tactics!!! woopty doo!!! now when it comes to base building and resource gathering... SURPRISE!!! There are none, and guess why... it's realistic!!! Holy s***t, you mean the gi's on the front lines aren't cutting down trees and making guns and bombs out of them? Yep!!! and no we dont raise children and train them and make weapons for them in thirty seconds!!! But this amazingly realistic game doesn't make you waste time on too realistic things like fuel and ammo... sweet!!! so in total it has a realistic story, realistic fights, realistic graphics, and an unrealistically cool gameplay!!! yeah i know this sounds a bit overzelous... but this is a good game
in short
-good graphics
-great economic system
-lasting gameplay
-the only downside is the lack of... well actualy you get to use nukes, carpet bombing and (google this if you have to) white phosphorous bombs.
-BUY THE F***KING GAME seriously!!! this game has won multiple game of the year awards
