This review is for whose prefer to play games from 90's. I bought this game by mistake, thinking it was an old version. I was disappointed that they removed airplanes and ships. The land units move across the water automatically. There is no air or water battles. No strategy except for land might. I never liked RTS anyway. If you love the older version, stay away from this one.

This game is not a game to play solitaire with. The AI is weak and an experienced player can beat it every time. It should only be played solitaire until you have the basics down. The real game play was on the internet. Unfortunately, Atari has decided not to support internet play. Thus, since multi-player play is no longer an option, I would skip this game. All the value in the game was from multi-player play and now that is not available. I originally gave this game a five star rating because of internet play. With that option gone I would rate it 1 star.

I played the board game of A&A for a long time and I was excited to get this game. Unfortunately, it didn't feel much like the game at all. The AI in the World War II section was horrible and it was easy to overwhelm after a few turns. The actual battles were a bit better and often kept me on my toes but it was not enough to win me over.

I was hoping this game was a direct copy of the classic A&A board game, but it is not. it is an A&A themed knockoff.

I love A&A and have played it on a computer - loads of fun. This product installs but will not play stating that it is missing the needed adapters. I have tried to go online to find a patch without success. There is no clear phone number or point of contact on the package to help with this. If the game worked, I would probably give it 5 stars. So far I haven't been able to play at all.

When I did go online to search for answers, I found that this is a common problem that others have also run into.

Great game overall, but the best of it is during multiplayer and working in teams. Strategy games are many today, but few can last as long as this one has!

This game is one of the best real time strategy games out there. If you like Age of Empires or Command and Conquer you will enjoy this game very much. Also if your like me and enjoy the Age of Empires series very much the fourth one will be during the modern ages so it will completely skip the whole WW2 era so it is great to have this game to fill that absence.

Way to much to keep up with on a computer screen. Does not have
enough room to display everything on screen.

I'm glad I only paid $10 for it, because it's going in the trash. There is no good way to play multi-player and the real-time portion of the game is weak at best. I bought it to play multi-player like the Iron Blitz version....it's nothing like that.

One problem I found in the game was upon opening it and beginning, i found it didn't have a product code to register the game with. I have found several games off the shelves and ordering that have not had this feature. I had to find it off of the internet, which worked and I am now playing the game. The game is fun and interesting. It is a strategic thinking game. I haven't been able to win much on the hard level. Good game otherwise.
