I must say I was very disappointed in this game. Our group of RTS gamers is already grumbling about this game, and considering moving on to another RTS. We had some great days playing Command and Conquer (and expansion - although CC3 was a big disappointment for us). We had some great days playing Warhammer (and all it's expansions - except for the latest one). We also had some good Company of Heroes battles (with it's expansion)...

This game seems to boil the RTS experience down to the actual battles and avoids all the typical base building, resource gathering, and "ramping up"...This is similar to the WH games, but WH battles are much larger and loads of fun. The World in Conflict battles limit you to meager forces, and expect you to work with teammates to get things done. This is fine in some ways, but having such small groups of units doesn't lead to much fun. Especially since the WiC battles offer many ways for the enemy to launch long-range off-map strikes that you can't really defend. So, you can lose your whole force to this. Sort of crappy...You spend a lot of time waiting for your new units to arrive (maybe 2-3 tanks) at most, and then trudging them into the battle (where they could get smashed quickly again)...

Also, the game types seem sort of weak. There's no way to really knock out an enemy (i.e. knocking out a HQ or something as you can do in most RTSes)...It's mainly taking control points and trying to run out the clock on the enemy.

To top it off, there still are some bugs involving joining a server or actually finding the server your buddies are playing on. And I think the demo only allows single-player...This is bad since multiplayer is all that this game is good for...

Probably have to wait for StarCraft2 whenever that comes out...Or go back to WH for a while...

There's always Call of Duty 4...First-person shooter though...Very cool game though...

Incredibly addictive multiplayer action

This is an excellent strategy game. It blows Company of Heroes out of the water in every category...graphics, sounds, gameplay variety. It's simply suberb. Multiplayer matches are a blast.

BUY IT! :)

Best RTS to come out in years

This game is one of the best and most well designed games to come out in years. The amount of detail and work that is seen in the game is amazing; you can zoom in or out and see every little detail on units from rocket damage to bullet holes. The Single player is fantastic but the multiplayer is where it really shines 4v4 class based combat. It isn't like the usual base building games but units are given to you through a point system, lose a unit and you get the points back slowly over time. Each player has to choose one of four classes and each class supports the other so if teamwork isn't your thing this might not be the game for you.

GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!

this has got to be one of the best games i have ever played!!! The graphics are amazing when your computer is fully tuned. It is fast paced and you only control a small part of an army... thus, you use tactics.... yes, tactics. It is extremely realistic in the sense that air support takes time, you need to set coordinates and wait for a cirtain amount of time so you need...Tactics!!! woopty doo!!! now when it comes to base building and resource gathering... SURPRISE!!! There are none, and guess why... it's realistic!!! Holy s***t, you mean the gi's on the front lines aren't cutting down trees and making guns and bombs out of them? Yep!!! and no we dont raise children and train them and make weapons for them in thirty seconds!!! But this amazingly realistic game doesn't make you waste time on too realistic things like fuel and ammo... sweet!!! so in total it has a realistic story, realistic fights, realistic graphics, and an unrealistically cool gameplay!!! yeah i know this sounds a bit overzelous... but this is a good game

in short
-good graphics
-great economic system
-lasting gameplay
-the only downside is the lack of... well actualy you get to use nukes, carpet bombing and (google this if you have to) white phosphorous bombs.
-BUY THE F***KING GAME seriously!!! this game has won multiple game of the year awards

I bought this game as a gift for my boyfriend. He absolutely loves it! And, delivery was extremely quick, only about 2 days even though I chose standard delivery.

Single player mode has a decent story line and great cut scenes. It may be a little short, but the quality of the game makes up for it. Multiplayer is addicting! Great visuals with my single core 3.2ghz pentium 4, 2gigs ram, and x1950pro. Played just fine on medium/low with my previous 6600 card. The realistic sounds, physics, and detailed maps add to the overall experience. Deserves the 5 star rating.

Great game

The game was great and better than I expected. Some of the reviews indicated that it lacked "strategy." However, I think the storyline, gameplay, and graphics made up for it significantly. Also, part of the strategy or challenge involved was trying to find ways to succesfully complete the scenario. Overall, it was a good challenging game -- long enough, but did not take forever to finish. I look forward to the sequel.

Good Game!

I haven't finished the single player campaign, but so far I enjoy the game. I love the ability to move the camera all around, zoom in and out of the battle by using your mousewheel etc. I also like the storyline and the way in which you accumulate points to enhance your military. I am still partial to Company Of Heroes, only because of the WWII theme.
