Best game i've played in years, a must for any strategy gamer out there. Blows Ground Control out of the water, varied landscapes including; Cities, deserts, snow filled levels plus many more. Especially love the first person control of the units, i spent all night just running around as a marine sniping the enemy.

"Dogs of War" is a dynamic game with an action/adventure story line based on everything we assume about the future. With the graphics and interface, this game is a "must have" for your gaming collection. Superior technology behind a game that I predict will do well in a market of dominating action games. As far as it's rating it is not any worse than Quake 3, or Half-Life. So, don't let that scare you off. Overall grade is a 4.5, because of the unique game play.

I can probably sum this game up in a few words. First however, i will warn you of the game itself. This game is nothing more than a hole in your pocket. There are no positive attributes to this game unless you want to be thought of as a crackhead. I hate this game with a passion and decided that I would rather be beat with a wire hanger. The second day I bought it my mother beat the life out of me due to its horrible gameplay. As for the words to sum it up.......its a waste of life.

I bought this game a few days ago. Its been out for a while so I got a good deal and frankly for the price didn't expect much. Let me tell you, the graphics in this game are amazing. The detail is just stunning. The theory of what the game proposes to do in the environment it has is a very tantlizing idea. And for the most part, the game does deliver what it says it will. But... (there is always a "but") My biggest complaint is that the combat moves so fast that its virtually impossible to control very many troops at the same time. All the different types of troops have advantages and disadvantages. And not small ones, some CAN'T engage certain other, some CAN'T do damage to some units, while those units can lay waste to them. So the ability to be able to control each and every unit in battle efficiently is VITAL. But the pace of things are too great to allow that. It also has a tendancy to claim you failed to complete a mission... just as the mission begins to load (but this has been nothing more than a minor annoyance).

Now with all that said, I'm not giving up. There is always a learning curve. I quite possibly can over come this one. But I've already gotten [price]worth of enjoyment out of this game, which is what I paid for it. So I'm not disappointed.

If you like strategy, first person games, RTS games and you have time to learn this and the patience too. This game is for you (and for the price, you don't have much to lose).

I thought this game looked excellent, because the screenshots on the box are very good looking. I was very disappointed when I started playing. There is no action that's worth marveling over. And finally, if you hate strategy games, you'll hate this. Stay away. You'll be glad you did. No wonder it sold for $1.00...
