  • Rating:8

    Addictive and fun, World at War is like Axis & Allies on steroids.

    This is a very enjoyable strategy game with complexity and detail on par with the Panzer General series, but on a global scale. It's a reasonable step up in difficulty from Axis & Allies, but not nearly as demanding as ... Read Full Review

    Axis and Allies, but WAY better.

    By FelixDaRat | Review Date: Apr 07, 2005 | PC

    Real quick, 'cause I'm no writer. This is like "Super Axis and Allies". Symbols, movement rules, advanced research for weapons, the map - the "concept". If you have played Axis and Allies you will be right at home - but ... Read Full Review
