World in Conflict really puts you in the middle of the war and gives you an experience which you'll remember for long.
Story:
In an alternate reality where the cold war never ended, the soviets are full in charge with their battalions to face the mighty empire. You play as 'Parker' a newly recruited personnel who comes under the command of Colonel Sawyer, who really comes across as the man with authority. I must say, that for an RTS this game is really high on story and grips you till the very end as you are curious to know how the war turns out to be. The characters are well sketched and you by the end of the game you actually start to feel for them.
Gameplay:
Now here's the part where probably World in Conflict really scores. Gameplay is pure brilliant. It's even refreshing as every mission has something new to offer but still maintaining the flow of the game. You would have to plan your mission strategically as you just have limited resources to your disposal. Be it any kinds of unit. Also every unit has their own plus points and you will provide added advantages in missions. So you better choose who you want to recruit. Most missions are timed and therefore the intensity is really high. You can call on air-strikes too but you need to be careful as it might hurt your units too. The better you fight, the more points you get to recruit more units. Enemy AI is at its best and can give you nightmares too. Camera also works fine and doesn't give you hassle at all.
Graphics:
Bloody Brilliant. It really brings the war alive onto your computer screen and although war isn't pretty, its freakin beautiful to look.
Sound:
War games are known for their sounds and World in Conflict is no more an exception. From the great voice acting to the constant sound of bombings and gun-raging, it all seems perfect.
In a nutshell, World in Conflict is a game which put right in the middle of the war and gives you an experience which you are sure to remember for a while. The World is surely in Conflict and you better get your hands on to it before it's too late. Over and Out!
