Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Set during World War II, Another War tells the story of an adventurer who tries to rescue his friend from Germans in Nazi-occupied France and becomes trapped in a web of intrigue. The storyline eventually takes the player to battle-scarred Leningrad, where Soviet and German engineers guard a secret project that could turn the tide of the war.

The player communicates with other characters to learn vital information, picks up items--including authentic weapons--for use later in the game, and ultimately decides whom to trust. Extended battle and character development systems keep the action-packed, humor-filled, story moving along at a brisk pace and immerses the player in a unique historical experience.

The game's interface is reminiscent of such classic role-playing titles as Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Fallout while the 2-D isometric graphics convey the rich detail of the time period. Another War also offers active lighting, smoke, explosions and other effects, as well as surround sound for the ultimate sonic experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Since the game got popular for a bit..., April 14, 2007

By	D. Bachman (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

...It may come as a surprise, even to the first reviewer, that this game,
a step or two below Diablo II, isn't about a hero-soldier who comes from
America!
The humor of the game in fact comes from England!
That's why it's written the way it is, and that any of the three hero-types all
speak in English accents! They are Western tough-guys ready to smash the
Germans but...they're English..western..tough guys. From England. It's a British
game for Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!, November 23, 2003

By A Customer

I thought that this was a great and original game. It is an RPG set in Germany during WWII(I told you it was original) and you are an American traveling there because of a letter from your friend. It is one of the funniest games I have ever played. The plot is very deep and while the graphics may be a bit dated its not enough to override the plot and humor.

1.0 out of 5 stars unbelievably bad game, October 13, 2003

By A Customer

Primitive interface, buggy, boring, clumsy and not as clever as it tries to be. Advertisement claims it is similar to Fallout - not even close. Graphics are only passable - it is a mystery to me why the game fills 3 cds. Don't buy.
