It's a frustratingly mixed bag.

This game is both good and bad, so although it is frustrating you will find yourself coming back to it more than once.

To its credit the game gives you a mass of units and unit types making it enticing to WWII buffs. Everything on the map explodes nicely and for the most part the sounds are above average (except for the previously mentioned ambulance drivers).

But the overall game plan leaves a lot to be desired. As stated before the units have no AI whatsoever. The units are not true to life in either speed, range or firepower. Mortars can decimate everything including tanks, and AT guns can't fire 10' in front of them. But the single most annoying factor is that your units are literally blind. No one can see anything except the officers, and the computer is really good about hanging just back into the fog of war and blowing them all to hell. In fact, the computer can blow just about anything you have to hell without you ever seeing half the units. Strategy is out the window and a blind rush only works if you don't get surrouned. Save your money and buy it used - cheap.

Fast and Fun

I've only had it for 12 hours, but I've have basically got the hang of the games commands, and now I can learn the stragity of the combat.

Its well animated, its easy to learn, it real enough with out being overwhelming.

You will quickly learn air support is golden, and infantry do not like to take on panzers!

Two thumbs up

This is one of the best games i have ever bought. If your a C&C expert this game is not for you. Lots of action & excitement. This is a fast-paced game so dont play online unless you've played a campaign or two. Id prefer this game to people who are WW2 buffs. THIS GAME IS REALISTIC SO DONT EXPECT ANYTHING CRAZY!

Nice graphic but not a good game

Only word I can say is this game has the nice graphic but the rolling screen hurting my eyes. pretty hard to win the game..I don't have any fun playing this game.

I don't know what all the fuss is?

Every one of the critics reviewed this game as OK, and I don't see why. I like it a lot! I'm a big fan of games like Commandos, Warcraft, Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc. And I definitely think Sudden Strike fits with those. You really have to think about strategy when attacking enemies. You can't just send all your men and steam roll 'em! You have to use some flanking tactics and sneaking up to win. And RECON, RECON, RECON! Also, taking the time to train your men really pays off. The only thing I found odd was that a tank couldn't run over a soldier. They have to shoot them to kill them. Also, I would like to be able to zoom in to see my troops and tanks better. Other than that, I think anyone who likes an addictive "high-clicking" game will love this. But beware, it is a "Time Sucker!"
