Product Description

From the Manufacturer Soldiers: Heroes of World War II drops you into the heart of the most intense WWII combat-action. Take control of the most elite American, British, German, or Russian forces ever to impact on the war-zone. Up against overwhelming odds, you must complete your missions incorporating stealth, guile, speed, and aggression. Mission objectives include blowing railway tracks, kidnapping enemy officers, and destroying convoys. Be warned that much of this activity will take place behind enemy lines! Command troops by either using group control RTS style "point and click" commands or by using the direct control feature for individual units, providing a more realistic and precise style of play. The choice is yours. Use the fully interactive environment, tools, and equipment around you to complete your objective, the way you want to complete it. Maximize the effectiveness of your squad by assigning tasks relevant to their individual skills. As long as you keep your men alive, you can do whatever it takes to secure victory... nothing is pre-set. The cunning AI means that the enemy will attack information, retreat if necessary, look for cover, ambush you, and even flank you. Think on your feet or your mission will end in a hail of flame and bullets. Features: The thrills of a 3D shooter with the depth of a real-time strategy game Direct Control mechanic, so you can jump right into the thick of the action Freedom to complete missions though different tactics, use anything in the game world--commandeer enemy ordinance, weapons, and ammo Advanced AI: enemies will use formations, covering, and ambush tactics More than 30 missions; huge array of vehicles and weapons Fully destructible environment: everything can be fully, or partially, destroyed Multiplayer: one- to four-player co-op multiplayer for LAN and online

Sold Out Software added an extra layer, and part of that layer is designed to destroy your computer if you have software they disagree with, such as Daemon Tools. If you don't mind that, because you think nobody uses Daemon Tools for anything but piracy, still avoid it because it partially deployed and messed me up part-way after I reformatted and installed without Daemon Tools. Maybe they didn't like my BitTorrent client since everyone knows BitTorrent is never used by legitimate distributors.

This game is fun to play and is like the predecessor to the title Men of War, but on a smaller scale of combat. Player has the ability to scavenge for about everything in a destructable enviroment. Very realistic physics and vehicle operation. Player has option of individual or mass control of units. Ecellent play ability and great puzzles in a world war two setting. The only issue I had was getting the game to work with Windows 7. After hours of trouble shooting and reading blogs to try and get the game to work, I finally resorted to my old laptop with Windows XP, Service Pack Two. Game worked with no problem. I'm not that computer inclined so I'm sure there is a way to get it to work some how. Besides the hic up with programming, this game is excellent for strategic gameplay.
