Sierra World in Conflict

World in Conflict

Strengths: graphics, single player story, multiplayer action

Weakness: high PC requirements, short single player mode

World in Conflict is a PC game about the Soviet Union invading the United States in the 80s. As such, the weaponry is all modern day - humvees, tanks, helicopters, infantry. The graphics in this game are outstanding if you have a computer powerful enough to have the settings on high. The single player story is great - with cut scenes used to tell the story - but its a little on the short side....

This is a MUST-HAVE

Strengths: Extremely realistic details, especially the smoke and the terrain. Highly addictive gameplay, widescreen and dual monitor support and free online play! This gotta be a must-have for all gamer!

Weakness: It needs the disc to play which is kinda annoying if you only have one optical drive, and the story mode is a bit short in my opinion but other than these, this game is perfect!

Make sure you have vista and a powerful DX10 card like nvidia 8800+/amd HD2900+ to fully enjoy this game because some eye candies are only available for dx10 cards.

World in Conflict (Full Product, DVD-ROM, PC)

Strengths: Graphics, gameplay, did I say graphics?

Weakness: None

This game is great!!! It combines the RTS and FPS into a fantastic battle between communists and Americans in a modern invasion of the US. Interesting storyline, and even more captivating detail. Be aware, though, you need a powerful computer to play this game and to see all the details, but its worth the investment.

World in Conflict

Strengths: Graphics

Weakness: None

This game plays much like a modern version of Company of Heroes. Though not identical, it shares the same tactical layout. Control points, artillary bombardment, air dropped support units, etc. All in all a very enjoyable and challenging title. The graphics are INCREDIBLE. Smoke, lighting, explosions, among the best I've ever seen. Strongly Recommended.

Time to upgrade your rig

Strengths: Game play, graphics and strategy.

Weakness: Stringent system requirements.

I recently upgraded my rig to a Quad Core and 8800 GT, so this game runs smoothly at high settings. Be warned that this game will tax your system to the hilt! Beyond that, game play strategy is suburb & fresh. I've spent countless hours and days playing this game. The campaigns are great albeit a bit long. I recommend downloading the demo of this game from the maker to see how well it plays on...

World in conflict

Strengths: the best strategy game ever

Weakness: a little bit short storyline

I think this is the best strategy game I have ever played. Taht's it! Its storyline is so interesting, its gameplay is addiction, and its graphics and sound effects are fantastic. Its online play is free and fun to play. What I can say more... Just play it and you can feel what I am talking about. Keep in mind one thing: I play this game with 8800 GTS 512mb -SLI graphics card. In this setting its...

Can't we all just get along?

Strengths: Gameplay, innovation, graphics, setting, multiplayer, everything.

Weakness: Demandind on systems, so you're warned.

WiC is awesome. They took a hackneyed concept like a soviet invasion of the US and made it compelling by the realism, urgency, and quality of gameplay. It feels like a war between two superpowers. Further, the game ahs inovvative new ways of organizing and recruting troops unlike the tired (harvest, build, attack, repeat) formulas of the past. It's a compelling game and one of the best RTS's in a...

World in Conflict

Strengths: Graphics Story Innovative Resource System

Weakness: Campaign Length

Although I prefer FMV cut-scenes (E.g. C&C series), I really liked the voice in between missions. It gave the game a much more dramatic feel. I just wish the campaign length was longer. The graphics in this game are amazing, and the resource system is innovative. I'm used to the standard RTS resource gathering paradigm. The time-based system in this game is refreshing.

Fun game

Strengths: Great graphics and gameplay

Weakness: Need a decent system to run at nice settings

I'm not a huge gamer by any means, and I don't like playing FPS much. I am very picky about games I get into since I don't have time to play all the time (as I'd like to). I like to get into a good, solid game here and there and this one fits the bill. I've always enjoyed games with strategic-style gameplay. The graphics and stunning detail in this game make it more fun to play. The audio quality...

Great game

Strengths: Awesome graphics Great game play Incredible effects Cool weapons and units Pretty interesting story (what if WWII didn't end?)

Weakness: No building. You purchase units instead of building them. 3D view takes a bit to get used to especially coming from Starcraft.

Nuke alone is enough to buy this game. This is like C&C times 10. The action get pretty frenetic at times. This game should suffice until 2009 when Starcraft II comes out.
