Being a history major in college and primarily focusing on WWII, I loved the detail of the units and the sound was amazing. What is really weak on the game is the air power. Germany in this game is very weak and so is Japan. There could have been a lot more selection from the air forces that would have been a perfect game. Everything else comes together well in this game but the air power simply does not cut it and brings the game down to just a simple three star vote for me. Wouldnt it be nice to actually select what type of bombs to load (Napalm,Incendiary,Iron, and such, as well as having fighter selection to run their own missions……come on……hopefully this company will get it right next time.
Rating: 3 / 5

Actually it is a combination of the original Axis and Allies with and Age Of Empire game like. The games focuses more on single battles strategies (Age Of Empires like) than on the resource-strategy World War which I was looking for.

This is my favorite strategy game, if not my favorite game period. I didn’t care for it all that much at first but it started to grow on me. Granted there are a lot of things that I would like to see changed. As another reviewer already stated, the AI is extremely weak. It follows a few set rules that after you’ve played the game for a long time become obvious and then the game isn’t much of a challenge anymore, which isn’t to say that it’s not still fun. I don’t like the fact that in WW2 mode the rules are so rigid. Once it’s over by the rules that they have set, it is totally over, no matter how well you’ve done. Also, a couple of the axis campaigns don’t really make sense. A few other nit picky changes would make the game much better in my opinion, but after playing many, many other games this one stands out as terrific. Act of War, which seemed like it was a follow up to this game was a big step in the wrong direction. It may have better graphics, but it is nowhere near as good as this one.

This game is quite fun, after about half an hour figuring out the game it gets to be pretty addictive. There are just a few things about the game that could be better. First of all the system of gathering resources is kinda weak, I mean you just build a building and BOOM you got the resources. The second is the origination of troops and units, some times it just ends up turning in to a big ball of shooting and that’s no fun =( One of the good thing is that there is a large variety of unit avalble.You can also research upgrades to your units weapons, armor, etc. But overall this ends up to be a very fun game and very entertaining. If you enjoy watching shows like history channel in makes you want to play more because you want to try to reenact the battles, like me. =) But I still recommend this game its just good fun. =) :[)……..I love my mustache.
