Title: A pleaser with some flaws
Review: World in Conflict managed to do something for me that no other "modern era" based RTS has done yet... hold my attention. Admittedly I have only played, and intend to play, the single-player portion of this game so take that under consideration.Strong points:Incredible visualsRichly written campaignNeat resource systemSatisfying unit buildEmphasis on mixed unit tactics and fire-supportWeak points:Heavy handed mission objectivesDemanding graphics engineOverall the game is a satisfying RTS that focuses on tactical combat and cooperation between field commanders and fire-support assets. A good system really lets this offering shine in the graphics department with lucious effects and highly detailed maps. Unfortunately the game is built around low-ranking officer tactics, with the usual strategic decisions left to the lead commander (objective giver really). This game is certainly worth a look.
