Yet again, Gamespot is off on this one. Grant it, WOR is a Warcraft III clone with little novelty. But if you liked Warcraft or Age of Myth and are looking for a fun game to play, pick this up. Graphically, I'll agree that it is not as pretty as Blizzard's hit but still looks good. The effects are cool, some of the terrain desisgns are very nice (moving grass, shiny water, cliffs and mountains. WOR has some interesting elements like massive melees, large groups, and ultimate spells (fate points). The pace of the combat is very fast, buildings and units get mowed down quickly, which means you don't have to agonize watching a base being torn apart like other games. It's smooth gameplay...no bugs. If you're a veteran RTS fan, play it on the difficult settings...very entertaining. Palin and simple, you're an RTS fan...get it!
