Explosive RTS action a la Command & Conquer

Act of War is a traditional Real Time Strategy game developed by relatively unknown developer, Eugen Systems. The game is a throwback to Command & Conquer, featuring full-motion cut scenes and very similar gameplay. The story is told through FMV cutscenes with real actors. Sometimes you get new information in a newbulletin. The actors are used ingame as well. Every mission starts with an intro movie but during missions it is common that a small window will open and will show you a movie with new instructions. This works very well. There are three factions. The TFT, the US army and the Consortium. In singelplayer only the TFT and the US army are playable. The consortium you can only play in multiplayer of skirmisch mode. When things get hot you het a highter state of emergency, meaning you get better and more devastating units. The US Army has the Wolverine Missle, which is the strongest weapon. There are a lot of units, from footsoldiers, tanks and robots.There are stealth combat and transport vehicles. It's a very well balanced. You are limited to select only a certain amount of units. Using airstrikes is an option but it can take some time to become avaibable. The graphics of the game are very nice, very detailed. Wounded soldiers will move slowly of even lie down waiting for a medevac. You can occupy buildings and hide snipers in there. Explotions look really good. Lot's of stuff flying around! Battles take place on six battlefields, Libya, London, San Fransisco, Egypt, Russia and Washington D.C. Locations are modelled after satellite pictures. You get credits from exploiting natural resources, capturing enemy prisoners of war, occupying banks etc.. There is an extensive multiplayer option. Watch out for people rushing for the Wolverine missle!
