World in Conflict

 

 

 

 

It could have been a great game...

Oh how this game sounded great. A tactical strategy come action game, and not based on WWII or the 23rd century, but fairly present day. Unfortunately I'm really disappointed. I'll give 10/10 for the graphics, they really are superb. You will however, need a fairly beefy machine to see the best the graphics have to offer. The sound is fine, 8/10. The gameplay, aahh.

The problem I have is that each mission, and each scenario within each mission, is too rigidly defined. Go here, attack this, defend that... it's too micro managed. My preference would be for big detailed maps (which they have), your set of units, with ways of getting reinforcements (which they have), and one big overall objective, e.g. take that town over there. Unfortunately, while the end game may be to take a town, instead of deciding how you're going to go about it yourself, it's too scripted. This is too detailed, and doesn't allow you to use your own brain to reach an overall objective. Shame really.

Ghost Recon

Full review (PS2)

 

It's a classic amongst few classics...

Forget GRAW, this is the best Ghost Recon game made. It may be a few years old now, so the graphics are nothing special, but the gameplay is great. Also once you have completed the single player missions you can go online, and that's where the game really shines. When you see some online shooters all you see are headless chickens running around, but GR is more of a tactical shooter, and so you need teamwork to win.

Why the maximum score of 10? It's because I still play it occasionally, even though it's years old, and for me it's a classic amongst few classics.

Score: 10                               Reviewed by: mr cambo
