Not a Bad Game

I thought Real War was a fun game. It can be fast paced and challenging and does require a certain amount of strategy. It does not however have the jazzy graphics that many other current games display so if that is your primary motivator....look elsewhere!

What a waste

This is the worst war game ever.
"War" for the Atari 2600 was better.
Don't waste your money.
I have to give it one star. But zero would be a better rating.

this is a pretty good game

well, this is a good game with its pros and cons. First off, the graphics are great. the detail of the maps are awesome(especially the jungle). the units do what theyre really supposed to do, like the jets and bombers actually taking off on the runway. the bad part of this game is that the units are just total morons. Even if there is a clear path for a tank it just stops and you have to guide it thru. That gets me very mad. another thing, you can have like 5 guided anti air vehicles while a carpet bomber flies overhead-you would think they would fire at it but they're just too stupid to fire at it. the hovercraft transports( while ur loading them) could have a tank thats right next to it while loading and the trans will pull off the shore, go somewhere else, and unload its cargo. The only units I found to be smart were the planes. You never have to worry about money because you build supply depots that can (if u upgrade them) be supplied almost constantly. But even thru all of this, the game is vedry fun.

The name should be Real Lame.

I got frusturated with this game while playing it. Controlling your land most sea units is not difficult at all. It is similar as with any other RTS game.

Controlling air units was a bit difficult. The air units move rather quickly, and for fast games, controlling all your units at once becomes a laborious task. A plane may be on an airfield, carrier, or in the air. Unless you are good at tracking all of your planes, it is difficult to keep up with all of them at once.

The only good point in the game that I can think of would be the Briefings. The movies at the beginning of some of the misssions get you into the patriotic mood at times, and that is about it.

Don't even bother!

Whatever you do, leave this game alone. supposedly based off the U.S.'s military strategy sim, this game is awful. Units don't behave accurately (i.e. rifleman taking out tanks with their assault rifles), A.I. pathfinding is horrendous, and the game is filled with bugs, from simple sound loops to full blown system crashes. Real War's only saving grace is the cameos from Lee Ermie and the resource gathering system. Real War is nothing like real war, and is a waste of money.

My Mother could design a better game!

Real War is a really poor excuse for a RTS, its not realistic, yes it has weapons platforms right out of today's military. However the game play is sub-par, and boring. You are better off spending your money elsewhere.

Don't Believe the Hype!

I only wish I had read the reviews for this game before I wasted $40 on it. This game is laughable. Sure, the cinematic clips are awesome...but if you want a war movie, go and rent a DVD. From a GAMING standpoint, this 'Real' War game is a joke.

Good luck with the 4th Campaign mission called 'Allied Shield'. It is much too difficult of a mission, and hearing the Full Metal Jacket drill sargeant mock you after each failed attempt, you'll be left mocking yourself for purchasing this disgrace of a game.

I will never buy a game by S&S Interactive again.

WORST RTS EVER

A Good Game To Add To your Real Time Stradegy Games

I don't think I need to go over all of the bad points about this game in this review. All you need to do is read the rest of the reviews. All serious gamers pay attention to the one and two star reviews. These guys seem to be serious gamers themselves and have pretty much hit the nail on the head.
