3.0 out of 5 stars Dont bother ..., July 18, 2007

This review is from: Steel Horizon (Video Game)

I was very excited about this game. I am fan of WW2 games and this game for a change has Germans and Allies as opposed to Red vs Blue. However, the game introduces Robed figures and unrealistic super weapons. I could have lived with it if the game played well but it does not.
In a mix or real time and turn based but is a wrong mix. On a map strategic level you are in turn based mode - and that lasts a long time while you fumble around looking for enemy. Then its real time but there is no real control beyond choosing targets and trying to maneuver. The units are very unbalanced, with pt boats easily taking out aircraft carriers, which in turn have to close in to fight as battleships! It's a mess. Graphics are not bad, but there no voiceovers, the story is ridiculous. I would skip this one

I was kinda leery about this game after reading the reviews here on amazon, but i got it used locally and was really surprised. It kinda feels like a simplified verrsion of PS2s Naval Ops:Commander. It does feel more old school on an advanced platform like the PSP. But said and done I would recommend this game, especially if you have a lot of time to kill!

This review is from: Steel Horizon (Video Game)

I've been playing this game for a couple of weeks. It is basically the sea power version of Field Commander. There are several modes of play--Skirmish, Campaign, etc. The campaign mode feature a story line that isn't terribly interesting, but sets up various maps and goals. You have numerous unit types to select and control on a turn based map. Once you decide to attack it turns into a real time battle.

On the plus side, the graphics are good. The game gives you a number of ways to complete the mission. The turn based system gives it a feeling of chess.

The drawbacks are most notable in the real time battles. The biggest problem is that the units tend to attack whichever unit is closest and ignore your command to target a specific unit. This is a problem if your strategy is to knock out the escorts and then wait until they're gone before going after the defenseless transports. The other major drawback is the A.I. is often AWOL. There are numerous times when it could deliver a knockout punch to a crippled convoy but decides against attack. The AI prefers to act as a punching bag.

Overall, it's a worthwhile game that has kept my attention.
