Advantages: Great gameplay, graphics are great.

Disadvantages: Some people may be put off my the difficulty at times.

Soldiers: Heroes of World War II was released in 2004, and is still a pretty good game after four years. The past few years have seen no shortage of games based on World War II; but this game was the first in a series of real-time tactics video games based in this era.

The gameplay allows you to take control of either English, American, German or Russian soldiers and although it is primarily a strategy game; it doesn't mean you can't take your troops and fight the enemy!

The game offers extremely detailed environments and units. The graphics are superb. The fully 3D gameplay engine is very complex. The soldiers can run, crawl, smoke cigarettes while they are standing still. There is just so much detail in this game, props to the artists and animators. There is also a varied look. When in battle you see wheels coming off cars and jeeps, explosions if you blow up a fuel deposit, people jumping out of cars that are on fire; and much more.

This game also features a multi-player mode. You can play any of the campaign missions and most of the stand-alone missions in co-op mode with up to three more players (four players all together). Which is great for someone who enjoys gaming with people.

Overall, Soldiers: heros of war II this a great game that, in my opinion, will appeal to most stategy fans. A great christmas present, dispite its age.

Summary: If you're a strategy fan who's not tired of the WWII setting yet, this game is for you!
