Worthless,
By
This review is from: WWI the Great War (CD-ROM)
Do Not buy this game. It is one of the worst playing games in the gaming universe. One star is much too high.To the game writers and programmers: sorry, but even in WWI they had binoculars which allowed up close viewing across open fields and water. Aircraft could also provide useful information about terrain and they were printing maps which showed how a region appeared. So... why did you choose to keep the game player in the dark (literally) about terrain features that could be found on maps or terrain that was open to view from a position occupied by your troops? And this is not a strategic game at any level. No game that has you controlling a few troops as they walk through a forest is a strategic game. And strategy does not involve building houses or adding a worker to two for farming. Strategy involves ordering another 20 million dollars be spent on building roads verses railroads, or shortening your lines so as to release another 5 divisions for defense, or building 100 more submarines instead of 500 more aircraft etc. The economic and military advisors are worthless. Advisors should take care of fundamental items and then report on what is happening on a periodic basis. Strategic decisions are cleared with the top person and then advisors carry out that decision. Nothing like that happens here. This is an old idea dressed up in a WWI uniform. There are no new ideas in this gaming product. The game has a lot of programming problems. Over and over again I was told to pick from a list of items in the lower left hand corner of the screen. Of course, nothing was there. Choosing groups of troops was just nuts and many times the group would just ungroup. And I couldn't call troops out of bunkers once they were placed there. In addition, the controls (which button to push when) were not intuitive. I can't say enough bad about this game. Worthless sums it up for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars
one of the worse games of 2004,
By A Customer
This review is from: WWI the Great War (CD-ROM)
This game is very poorly designed and a big waste of money. It crashes very often and there are no patches that I could locate. Furthermore the production of economy is similair to star craft which does not fit this genre of game at all. To collect resources build various types of building for everything from technology to resource collection as well as build troops in this game system is cumbersome at best. I was really looking forward to a good world war 1 strategy game and this is not it. Troop combat does not flow well and it is very badly organized. To select groups of troops is diificult as they are not even numbered therefore you dont know what group you are selecting. Overall the whole system of managing combat as well as the economy and troop building is combersome at best. This game in my opinion is a big waste of money.

What were the other reviewers thinking,
By A Customer
This review is from: WWI the Great War (CD-ROM)
I had a blast playing this game. The other reviewers were slamming the game on false ground. First, the game never crashed or had programming problems. Second, you could un-garrison any building you wanted. The advisors help you at the start of the game to micro manage all the resources. Since resources never run out you can concentrate on the military points of the game. The game has a very real feeling. Each bullet you fire has some cost of iron. The tanks constantly need oil. The infantry constantly take up provisions. The graphics are not as good as Warcraft 3 but at Age of Empires 2 level. The campaigns are historically accurate, I know this, I am a history buff. The units are accurate also. The game is fun to play. The game is great to summarize. If you love history this will definably impress you. So would any average Strategy gamer. Great is the way to summarize the game.
