Review

 




The desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armoured bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

I got this one for Xmas but unable to play as I do not have Internet on the my games rig and can not activate it. Once you buy a game you should be able to slot it in your machine and away you go. If you take the game off your machine or format your PC then you have to do it all again. So it looks like this one is for the bin or I could give it to someone else let them mess about with it.
I know its done with good intention but all it does is drive away paying customers

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Great game

Don't be fooled by more than half the reviews below because they are by people who have no concept of modern gaming - that is to utilise multiplayer features over the internet. The days of singleplayer and LAN gaming are long gone as far as RTS games are concerned. Get online. Play some matches. Make some online friends. Play the campaign co-op with someone online the way it's meant to be played instead of with some stupid bot.

Overall I give this game a 4 star rating because it's not as good as Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour which I'd give 5 stars for replayability (and again I'm talking online multiplayer as that's where I feel you get your money's worth). Why 4 stars? It just lacks army diversity (3 armies is no competition really for Zero Hour's 12). Build orders are also quite limited and it feels like your doing more or less the same thing every game.
