Product Description

A real-time strategy game in which you command today's armed forces. Terrorist forces are threatening the free world, and the only power capable of stopping them is the U.S. military. The outcome is uncertain, but as history has shown, leadership matters. You control the balance of power. Choose your side, marshal your forces, and make real war upon your enemy. Based on the official Joint Chiefs of Staff training game developed for the U.S. military, Real War uses real-world scenarios, allowing you to play as the current U.S. military or as a terrorist army extrapolated from actual terrorist forces. All jets, ships, and ground vehicles are taken directly from today's military. You can also get your hands on a few special items right off the Pentagon's drawing boards. Real War delivers a stunning one-two punch of 3-D vehicles--with their realistic movement--against the backdrop of a richly detailed 2-D world, with jungle, desert, and arctic environments.

Everything about this game looks fun and interesting. I, however, personally find it unplayayble. Too much happens too fast in too many areas, often out of sight or control. Without direct control from the player units behave "stupidly" and are annihilated. There is a line between realism and playability and this game has crossed it. I enjoy a challenge, but the ability to slow game action and much better AI for the units to function independently would minimally be required to make this game fun. IMHO fun is the point of playing games.

This game came out before Command and Conquer Generals. At the time of this games relase it was a great game. You can control every military branch imaginable. With Generals you don't even have a Navy. This one is a good real time strategy.

up to date military wepons under your command. Most realistics combat senerios for a 3rd person tactical game. fun to play hard to beat. great music an sound effects, loud explosions. Voice from what sounds like a drill team commander, breifs you before an after missions. two armies for campain mode, one is USA. no cheesy super wepons. does have wepons of mass distruction. probly has a teen ratting, for amninated violence. very enjoyable
