4.0 out of 5 stars Original concepts, great game, some frustration, November 1, 2002

This is a really excellent, low profile game. Soldiers of Anarchy breaks new ground in the squad based RTS genre with its unique approach to finding resources - that is to say weapons, ammo and other supplies - essentially it all comes from the corpses of your defeated enemies. The setting is in the not-so-distant-future in a new Earth where the human race was almost detroyed by bio-chemical warfare. You are in charge of a small group of people who locked themselves into a bunker to outlast the fallout and now emerge into a world ruled by petty warlords and scarred by the remnants of civilization.

The graphics are gritty and real. The variety of vehicles and weapons in the game are very detailed and researched, and while the learning curve is a little steep to get into the game, soon enough you are in the action - in very challenging scenarios.

My only problems with the game, although I am hopelessly addicted to it and can't stop playing - are pathing, and some camera control issues. Too many times I have issued an order to my troops, say to go around the far side of a building to avoid enemies - thinking this is the most open route which is still out of sight - when one or two of them will decide to run right out of their way past the enemies and promptly get everyone killed. It isn't a fatal flaw to the game but it requires more micro management than should be necessary.

Overall, its a great game with far too little recognition.

Great game set in a great environment, post apocalyptic gaming to the max. with a huge amount of vehicles and weapons to choose from the ways to beat this game are infinite. I have beaten the game four times and each time i played through it was different. great game for a great price.

I have not played this game for a long time, but am considering installing it again just to give it another spin. I thought this game was fabulous, lots of strategy and action, not just shooting. I am no expert as I don't play many games, but I haven't come across something else that would keep me up until late hours / early morning playing.
