Unlike most real-time strategy games, when players load up the story mode of this game they will not be playing as all three fractions but will play only with the US Army and Task Force Talon. The storyline is very riveting and seems like it might be taken place out of a Tom Clancy novel. Players will be trying to stop a group of terrorists that are trying to cause upheaval around the world. If players fail in their mission the world will be a different and horrific place to live. Failure is not an option.
Act of War: Direct Action does something that I have not seen any real-time strategy do successfully before, and that is weave real live action cutscenes throughout the game. What is even better is that in this game it is very seemly integrated and makes the game feel more realistic and fun to play. First the sound effects are really well done from the explosions that you will hear to all of the automatic weapons firing at your enemies. Everything sounds realistic and gives players the sense that they are truly in the middle of a war. What is a killer is the voice acting for the cutscenens and some of the units
