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!

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 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.

i really enjoyed this game at the begining ,nice graphics,great weapons,
but the backdraw is that there's no infantry ,no naval weapons ,and the terrains almost look the same in all missions ,except for some snow sometimes ,it's nice ,but 2 days you will be bored of it ,and i wonder why the programmers made the US army is the weekest .

I just bought the game and recommend it highly. I also have Real War. Real War really looks lame when compared to this new title. Lots of variability in WW3 Black Gold, especially when the game editor is included. Graphics are also done very well. The game appears to have a lot of depth. For all RTS fans I recommend this game.

Earth 2150 was a fun game that really didn't get the recognition it should have. If you liked Earth 2150, you will like WWW III. Why? IT'S THE SAME GAME! This is nothing but Earth 2150 with new graphics! If you have 2150, don't bother picking this game up. If you don't, 2150 is probably the better of the two games. Either way, why buy this game?

World War 3: Black Gold combines realistic 3D graphics with inventive scenarios and real military units. You command a force representing one of three countries: the United States, Iraq, and Russia; all of which have unique abilities. The game is made even better by its editor, which allows you to create your own map on which to play. You can even play other WWIII fans via the Internet, though the community is considered by many to be dead. It is my opinion that the lack of infantry is irrelevant, as it would fall easy prey to the more powerful tanks, which are mostly immune (due to their heavy steel plating) to machine gun fire. This is truly one of the best real-time strategy games of its time, and I highly recommend it to all.

this is the best game I've ever played.I love the realistic graphic and plot.I can play this game for hours and not get tired of it.Beleive me this is as good as it gets!

All i have to say is the game is absolutely fantastic. The missions are very interesting, it relates to todays conflicts in a way, and the movies in the game are awesome. Get the game!!
