Axis and allies is a pc made version of the traditional board game of the same name,i have not played it so i have no basis for comparison but i willsay that this is a great game from HASBRO INTERACTIVE and one of the cheapest most addictive games i have had the pleasure of playing.From the opening intro video which is extremely cool and enthrawling to the end videos of allied or axis victory the game never lacks energy and thought has been given ... ...game!
Axis and allies is a simple yet detailed follow off of the height of the third reich,simple yet interesting war deciding battles are area based and not town/city based that can be a trifle anoying.The battle for Stalingrad was the turning point in the war and so was the battle for El alamein in Africa.The storyline is based at the height of the third reich in 1942 where much of northern africa was under occupation and the baltic sea and western ...

Advantages: A very playable game , over the internet or at home Disadvantages: the logistics of it : outnumbering your enemy but still getting slaugtered
Axis and Allies – “ The ultimate WWII strategy game” or so the producers Hasbro interactive claims. The game is based on a board game style world war two turn-based game. The structure of the game is a world map with each country providing money for your war machine. You don’t only need to be a military strategist but a prudent economist. The game has been converted onto CD-ROM from a boardgame and has several new features ... ...the high-water mark of the axis campaign- Rommel has been halted in the desert and in Russia the German advance has been thrown back by a ferocious counter-attack. England who has had the knife at her throat since 1940 can now breath and plan to take back France and the low-countries. Classic game-play plus new rule variations, exclusive to the CD-ROM.
Play against war legends such as Montgomery, Eisenhower, Yamato, Zuckov and ...

Advantages: Clear, easy to follow rules with interesting film clips Disadvantages: Once you've got used to the game it can quickly get boring
I bought Axis and Allies from a bargin bucket and have been addicted ever since! The game gives you the choice of controlling any of the five major powers in world war two (UK, US, Russia, Japan and Germany) - or all of them! The game play follows the board game and there are various patches that can be downloaded via the net to add interest.
The main disadvantage with the game is once you have become used to the tactics of the pre-programmed enemy ...

Axis & Allies has proven to me that memories are best left untouched. Where I once remembered my hours with this game as great ones, partially made so memorable by the quality of the game itself, that has now been oh-so-slightly tarnished by this reminder of reality. As yet another excuse for university students to get together and get drunk, A&A is almost incomparable. As an actual game, A&A is just about unbearable. Now, if Hasbro manages to jam ...

Review of Axis & Allies (PC)
Axis and Allies is a game based on World War II. It allows you to take control of the Russian, German, UK, Japan or the USA army, navy and airforce. With either one of these you can play against the computer or friends, you can even play over the internet on such servers as MSN Gaming Zone. At first it is very difficult playing against the computer so to make it easy there is 5 different difficulty settings for each Contry. This makes the game easy ... ...yourself as a 1 star. If you can win with the countries at the same level, say all 3 star, then you are a 4 star. Etc. My friends and I are all 7 stars as we can beat the computers at 5 star really easily. You can decide. ...

Review of Axis & Allies (PC)
Axis and Allies is a computer version of the boardgame which in itself was a great adventure. Based on the second world war it is not just a game of military conquest but a
game where economics plays a large part in the success of your operations.
Played on a world map at the beginning of the second world war you can choose your side and using economic and military strength try to win the war against your opponents.
A great part of this game is ...

Advantages: A Faithful rendition of the popular board game Disadvantages: Poor A.I.
...of the game map.
AXIS and ALLIES on the other hand belongs to that much-maligned genre, the turn based strategy, and I'd like to point out that I think this is where REAL strategy exists. It is a simple global scale depiction of the events of World War 2, involving the AXIS forces - Germany and Japan, and the ALLIES - United Kingdom, United States and USSR. It is a very faithful rendition of the board game for those who have been fortunate enough ... ...than the bundled A.I. In summary, a great game suited for beginners or advanced strategists alike. If you should require more advanced turn based gaming then a title such as Hearts of Iron would definitely tickle your fancy more, which basically is a more detailed Axis and Allies. ...

Advantages: great strategy involved and you may buy different units Disadvantages:
...and you play either the axis powers or the allied powers and try to stop the other. Under the allied powers you can play America, England, or Russia. Under the axis you play Germany or Japan. This adds historical authenticity. Another good thing is that you can develop technologies. Although this is expensive and risky, it is good when you’re in a desperate situation and need luck, or if you are assured victory and just want to have some additional ...

Advantages: An addictive game with multiplayer functionality Disadvantages: A few bugs included
After purchasing the boardgame which this was produced from, it is great to know that game publishers are using the good old formula of board games. It is the spring of 1942. The world is at war. Five world powers are struggling for supremacy. You and your opponents control the military and economic destiny of one or more of these countries.
The game board is a map of the world divided into the spheres of influence that existed at the height of ... ...lead its military forces--air, land, and sea--into well-chosen battles. Another classic game with a great educational basis, helping to show important historical information in a fun way.
The tutorial provided is well thought out and provides the newbie with enough skills to survive and play the game. There are a number of skill levels for the AI in the game however it would have been better if these were more thought out. Thankfully there is a ...
