World in Conflict (PC) > Reviews (5)

I have come across many strategy game before but this was the very first that got me playing for days sometimes. In its appearence and gameplay experience was totally unique for me at first look. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play at full feature, but even on dodgy level of graphics it was amazing. Then why is this lemon-prize?

The single player campaign is well balanced, and even on the hardest level, you cannot fail, for my part I can't remember a time when I had to reload a mission. Perhaps this is the main reason why I feel the multiplayer side of it a little(?) bit twisted and disappointing. This wasn't a new game when I entered the arena and expected much more support and overall surveillance of the online battles. There are many drawbacks in the multiplayer section and this becomes even worse when 16 players begin to hammer you down. Sometimes I do not know what to do, cry or laugh when I see nuclear bombs falling like rain on the battlefield. It should be much more harder tor reach enough tactical points for weapons like this, or any kind of mass destruction.

This is not a third class action-movie where you never run out of ammo. Trusting I'm not the only one with this issue, I must say, that this game bleeds because it has no control at all. If you want realistic battles then you need to play the game it is meant to be played. In WiC, we have no options, if we want to join in, we must play by the ever changing rules of the current server we choose, because they never had general admins who might get the statistics paddlers out of the picture. The whole conception might be more tactical than a slaughter shop if it could have a little similarity to the single player mode, where you don't have endless supplies, you have to manage with those you get at the beginning. Instead of this, the only thing that counts is how fast you get back on the field after three nukes dropped on your head.

If you're lucky enough to pick the right team and getting that long-praised support, it can be facinating. Each unit time desires unique tactics so keep in mind, you have to master them all, if you want ot achieve victory instead of pulling your hairs out. Do not expect support on the first hand, like everywhere you must earn the respect of others to get in the circle. Until then, you might get constantly kicked off the servers.

In general, this is a game for everyone. All you need is to get your bearings before you go online. Play it, and play again the single player campaign to get familiar with the units and tactics, and never forget, it is just a game. If you accept the dark side of the multiplayer part, you can do just fine.
