I tried this game out of curiosity, and I said to a friend right afterwards "Yo, this game would be awesome if it was the first video game I've ever played." The fact is, you get used to things, like your keyboard configuration (the standard one for first person shooters), and certain features you just take for granted that are going to be in a military themed shooter. The keyboard configuration is a tiny bit off, but off just enough to make you look like you have no idea what you're doing. I mean, WASD are the standards, but instead of "R" being reload, space is reload? I know it's easily configured, but... isn't that a given? (Funny I mention this, my favorite game right now is Rainbow Six 3, and I'm not one for configuring games, I usually stick to the recommended settings... but in that game reload is "Z".) Some other keys were different too. Also, the features that you expect to be in a modern game, let alone a modern military themed game, are stuff like being able to lean around corners, look down the iron sights, and rag doll effect. These totally ruin the gameplay for me. One of my squad-mates died on a staircase and I had a quick glance in and was like "no, i didn't just see what i thought i saw?!" i did... his feet were on the 5th stair, and his body was laying completely parallel with the floor, about 4 feet above the floor. I was like "This is 2004 for Pete's Sake!" Anyway, what this game does have going for it is the new missions every week. However, the mediocre gameplay is the stop factor. I'd imagine war is a bit more tactical. One whacky thing I noticed with the graphics is when you run straight, the animation is of you running straight... fine. When you strafe, left or right, the animation is of you straffing... good stuff. However, when you run forward and to the right at the same time, you'd expect some other animation that realistically portrays what it takes to run "diagonal" with respect to where you are facing. This was not the case. It reused the "run straight" animation. Anyway, I'm a veteran gamer. This game is free for 7 days, so you might as well just try it out for yourself. I will cancel my subscription for now. No use paying for something I won't play until they fix it.
KumaWar claims to be the most "realistic" war game ever made, which right off the bat...isn't true. KumaWar puts you in the shoes of a United States soldier in real-life situations in war, which is a cool idea on paper b... Read Full Review
Save you're money,You've been warned. The only thing this game has going for it are the newsreals. They're pretty interesting and informative,but other than that, it's a waste. I had high hopes for it when the beta wa... Read Full Review
