4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Portrayal of Today's Events, March 14, 2003

This review is from: World War 3: Black Gold (CD-ROM)

With war in Iraq looming, this game brings a very chilling sense of reality. With an oil crisis facing the world because of an Iraqi led embargo on the west, the United Nations security council grants the United States and Russia to invade Iraq and Azerbaijan. In this game you must build oil wells to create resource points. You then use these to build your vehicles, structures, bombers, and even nuclear bombs. With a variety of weaponry of today's army (except infantry), you command American forces in invading Iraq, Russian forces in invading Ajerbaijan, and Iraqi forces trying to battle against the U.S. The only negative point which keeps it from getting 5 stars is that you have to speed the game up while developing weapons and technologies. Other than that, it's excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, January 8, 2002

World War III: Black Gold is the only real time strategy game you need to own. The gameplay is entertaining and the graphic detail is top notch. If you love armor and helicopters this game is for you. The only drawback is the lack of infantry.
If you were disappointed by Real War then World War III: Black Gold is the game for you.

This review is from: World War 3: Black Gold (CD-ROM)

This is a great game with high quality graphics, and sound this is one of the best games of this year. One problem... NO INFANTRY! Otherwise this is a game that should be played over and over again.
