Better than Company of Heroes?Of course!Best strategy ever made!
User Rating: 10 | World in Conflict (Collector's Edition) PC
When I got Company of Heroes last year I said that it won't only be the game of the year,but the best strategy game ever made & still the best in years to come.Guess I was wrong,because World in Conflict is better. The first thing that you are shocked by are the graphics:stunning. I've played Medal of Honor Airborne & Bioshock,but World in Conflict,a STRATEGY GAME,looks better than both.Just incredible.It makes Company of Heroes look bad. The sound is perfect:terrific voice acting,great ambiental effects,music, everything. Sound & graphics,but we have a superb storyline:World War III,russians conquer half of Europe in 1989,than strike USA in Seattle & New York.Allied with the Chinese,& it gets worse.You are lt.Parker,your comrades Bannon, Webb & captain Sawyer guide you & fight alongside you in each of the 14 missions.The cutscenes are greatly realised with the game engine,& some scenes that are telephonical conversations between characters & their relatives really make us feel the atmosphere on our own skin. A RTS indeed,but very original one.You don't build buildings & bases as in most of RTS-s,& that's realistic.When capturing command points with troops,you fortify them with MG-s,AT-s & AA defences,but nothing more.You get troups by parachuting them,& that depends on your command points:you get them from completing primary or secondary objectives.Each unit has a special ability:missiles,smoke screen,artillery-these need recharge.Rely more on tanks & hellicopters,& less on infantry.You also get air support points,to use a variety of airstrikes,bombs,etc from the air.Try the Daisy Cluster Bomb...;). Play this game.It's a unique experience,war done like never before.The only bad thing is that you don't have a Russian campaign(see Command & Conquer 3-Tiberium Wars campaigns)& you can't play skirmishes,only multiplayer matches,here including Russians. BEST STRATEGY GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!
