Poor substitute for the board game

I played the board game of A&A for a long time and I was excited to get this game. Unfortunately, it didn't feel much like the game at all. The AI in the World War II section was horrible and it was easy to overwhelm after a few turns. The actual battles were a bit better and often kept me on my toes but it was not enough to win me over.

An overall fun game.

This game is quite fun, after about half an hour figuring out the game it gets to be pretty addictive. There are just a few things about the game that could be better. First of all the system of gathering resources is kinda weak, I mean you just build a building and BOOM you got the resources. The second is the origination of troops and units, some times it just ends up turning in to a big ball of shooting and that's no fun =( One of the good thing is that there is a large variety of unit avalble.You can also research upgrades to your units weapons, armor, etc. But overall this ends up to be a very fun game and very entertaining. If you enjoy watching shows like history channel in makes you want to play more because you want to try to reenact the battles, like me. =) But I still recommend this game its just good fun. =) :[)........I love my mustache.

Skip the AI Play and go straight to the Internet

This game is not a game to play solitaire with. The AI is weak and an experienced player can beat it every time. It should only be played solitaire until you have the basics down. The real game play is on the internet. Playing as a team or face to face against other players is what this game is all about. There the competition is fierce. After you have played a real person you will not be back to face the computer again. Live play I would rate 4 to 5 stars.

Pretty good game

Its no Hearts of Iron II, but its still a pretty good WWII game. Pretty fast paced and the AI is ok. I recommend it more for multiplayer than anything else.

Popular and worth the cost.

My twelve year old cannot get enough of this game. It's catching on with many of his friends, too. If a kid likes Strategy games like "Runescape" he'll like this. It's not hard to begin but takes some time to get good at it. My boy played months against the computer and has recently begun the online version against live players. As a mom I like that there is a lot of strategy and a little bit of history involved in the game. A game well worth the cost.

Great Multiplayer fun

This game is one of the best real time strategy games out there. If you like Age of Empires or Command and Conquer you will enjoy this game very much. Also if your like me and enjoy the Age of Empires series very much the fourth one will be during the modern ages so it will completely skip the whole WW2 era so it is great to have this game to fill that absence.

great game

i liked this game because of its many types of units and the selection of battles also the gameplay was pretty good with the exception that things get a bit messy when trying to use massive forces all at once but overall good game

This is my favorite strategy game, if not my favorite game period. I didn't care for it all that much at first but it started to grow on me. Granted there are a lot of things that I would like to see changed. As another reviewer already stated, the AI is extremely weak. It follows a few set rules that after you've played the game for a long time become obvious and then the game isn't much of a challenge anymore, which isn't to say that it's not still fun. I don't like the fact that in WW2 mode the rules are so rigid. Once it's over by the rules that they have set, it is totally over no matter how well you've done. Also, a couple of the axis campaigns don't really make sense. A few other nit picky changes would make the game much better in my opinion, but after playing many, many other games this one stands out as terrific. Act of War, which seemed like it was a follow up to this game was a big step in the wrong direction. It may have better graphics, but it is nowhere near as good as this one.
