I got the demo, and its cool. Its the best game I've ever played.
Its similar to red alert but the interface kicks, and you can do air to air combat and theres no stupid minerals to dig up. It has real looking tanks (M1A1 and T-80U MBTs) and lots of cool planes.
All of the units on both sides are in existance ( many are U.S. and former soviet Union ). The nukes are an especially nice touch. BOOM. Get it. I went to this web site for the U.S. military game thet its based on , and there are a lot of similarities especially in the interface. Buy it.

AWFUL

This would have been a great game, if it had been published in 1997. There is nothing to differentiate Real War from every real time title published in the last 4 years, except perhaps laughable pathfinding and truly witless gameplay. This game is so bad its almost a parody of real time strategy games. Avoid this turkey like leprosy and save your cash for something better. I wish I had.

VERY disappointing

Im not going to even get into detail about this game. I thought it was very disappointing. The only thing I liked about it was that the infantry and vehicles were all real and the game setup, when you build a base its nothing like red alert for example. I think you can get a game 5 times as better for the same amount of your hard earned money.

Not what I was expecting from the hype.

I heard about this game early on, from several preview articles. I was really excited to hear a real time war simulator for the public was being released by a company that had developed real time simulators for the military. What a dissapointment this is! Definitely an arcade experience. I'm giving it 2 stars based on the fact that its highly unrealistic... and that I was expecting REAL WAR. If you like RTS's just for a beer and pretzel fun time game... this is fine i guess... if you are anything of a serious war gamer... STAY AWAY!!! Stick with Operational Art of War or any number of fantasic war games produced out there instead!

Finally, something different from sci fi or futuristic war

This is a RTS I have been waiting for for a long time now. Real units and base types, scenarios, maps, logistics, etc. I cant tell you how boring sci-fi or futuristic RTS titles get after awhile.

I enjoy how the game played as well as enemy AI. It gets 5 stars for being what I wanted, REAL, and ultra cool. The only flaw in this game is the pathfinding, which can be a little wirey if your buildings are close together. Just build your vehicle yards away from confined areas. However this is something that will be adressed in a patch no doubt, so dont fret.

Overall, the game is very cool, but if you think the game tends to drag out over one map, just remember it is a military simulation and not fast paced like Command and Conquer too. Because this is real.

AN OUTSTANDING GAME!

PROS: 1-The game has excellent movies before the game and before the missions. They are a real plus for those who care about that kind of thing.

2- The way you earn money is MUCH better than that in the Command and Conquer series. You don not have to waste time harvesting stupid minerals. Helicopters fly in and bring supplies which you use to build buildings and units.

3-The buildings look very realistic and have excellent details. they are placed on the map much easier than on C&C. There are no little boxes telling you where to put it.

4-The units are very cool and have excellent details as well. Every unit has an opposing unit specificly designed to combat that unit which makes for a unique balance in the game(unlike in other RTS games I have).

5-The graphics on the map are simply AMAZING. The details, quality, realism of the map just blows Red Alert 2 out of the water. You have to see the graphics to believe them.

6-The gameplay interface is well-designed and extremely easy to use. You can fight a battle without scrolling at all, literally. The only time I ever scroll around is to admire the map.

7-The variety of units and buildings you have access to is awesome. There are so many more great things I could mention about this game but I'd go on forever.

CONS: 1-When you move units through your base, they sometimes tend to get stuck and you need to carefully manuveur them out, but no biggie(to me anyway).

2-The game can sometimes last for a long time which can get on your nerves, but again, nothing huge.

3-You can't create your own maps directly on the game for skirmish purposes. But I'm sure that some program will be availible for download that allows you to do that.

CONCLUSION: This game is a solid game that will have you glued to the screen for a great amount of time. The fun level is very high especially with all the special unit characteristics, such as guerrilla warfare with US Army Rangers(my favorite). If you like RTS games, or all military games for that matter, get this game it is well worth the money.

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.

Cool Game!!!

this game must have taken a long time to make. the cinimatics are amazing. the thing that really persuaded me to buy the game is they have the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket doing the voice overs.
this game returns to the old fashioned style of RTS while fitting in a bleep load of great features. one of the features is the ability to select a target from a menu instead of having to click on a target going 100 mph(which is very hard in this game). another cool feature is the ability to slect any of your units through a menu that has tabs for land, sea, air, spec ops, and builds. though this all might sound complicated it is actually very simple. if you want a "real" RTS than look no further.
