![]() ![]() First, the entire concept appears to be a carbon copy of a game that appeared a few years ago, X-Com:UFO Defense. ![]() Unfortunately, while the game is definitely not a waste of money, it does have a few flaws which keep it from being great. In doing this, they have largely succeeded, by using elements of suspense (you cannot see all of the enemies), explosive firepower (each weapon does its own unique form of damage), and the bending of certain boundaries of realism. The designers claimed to have constructed the program in such a way to simulate a Hollywood-style battle. Each of the game’s functions produces a realistic battlefield sound to heighten the sense of war realism. The graphics are done very well, as would be expected from a game by SSI. Additionally, the soldiers who are trained in the use of certain weapons over others tend to perform better when they are using those specific rifles or charges. There is even an online encyclopedia to explain the use and background of each device. All of the troops, American and German, possess authentic weapons of the period, from assault rifles to small explosives. In the meantime, you must ensure that your men do not get themselves eliminated in the process.Įssentially, SSI succeeded in creating a very detailed game. Each mission consists of one turn-based scenario with the objective of either eliminating an opposing force, hijacking people or material, or blowing something up. If you play a campaign, the series of battles will take your platoon from North Africa to Sicily, through Italy and France, and across Belgium and Germany to Berlin. The subject matter of the game is World War II – namely, commando raids that occurred throughout the European Theater from the Fall of 1942 to the Spring of 1945. Unfortunately, my feelings are slightly mixed on Soldiers of War, which possesses some fine qualities, but is also somewhat flawed. ![]() When I first saw this game, I immediately expected it to be the game of 1998. ![]()
