World in Conflict (PC) ... strategy features a "what if" scenario involving the outbreak of a conventional war at the end of the Cold War and a Soviet invasion of the U.S. Although the game goes to some effort to make this seem as plausible as possible it’s also worth noting that the developers admit the plot is heavily influenced by 1984 Patrick Swayze non-classic Red Dawn. The game itself is similar to the popular Ground Control series, which the same team also worked on, although it features no base building or resource management, instead concentrating solely on combat and tactics. As such you can choose your weapons and equipment before a mission as well as whether you will play the role of infantry, air power, support or ground armour. Each of these four roles comes with their own specialized units, as well as tactical aids such as airstrikes, paratroopers and even tactical nuclear weapons. World in Conflict presents a chillingly authentic Cold War scenario where the Berlin Wall never fell. Created by Cold War authority and best-selling author Larry Bond, the story begins in 1989 as the Soviets, fearing certain collapse, boldly advance into Europe. NATO responds in force only to be met on a second front - a full-fledged invasion of the American homeland. Players take on the role of field commander, leading the era's most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America's cities and suburbs.

... major turning point of the campaign is reached when the Russians decided they wanted to find out what secret a place called Cascade Falls holds. They were decisively beaten at this battle (want to know how? play the game!) and was forced to retreat west. At this point the campaign flashes back to a few months ago when the World of Europe was raging on. The USSR has invaded the south of France and it is the player's job to win it back. There are then 2 further games played in northern Europe - the first one in Norway whe...more

World in Conflict (WiC) is a real time strategy / tactical game. I am reviewing it for the PC but there are also console versions available too. This game has graphics so good that in recent years authors and editors of computer reviewing magazines have used it as a benchmarks for performance. So it has looks, but is it actually a good game... read on! --- the BASICS ---- WiC is set in an alternative world in 1989, when the collapsing USSR decided to launch an assault against the USA.

This game is simply brilliant. I was waiting for so so long before it came out and it really didn't let me down. It is an RTS (Real Time Strategy) which is simply mid blowing. The graphics are amazing and the thing that makes it better is that every single building on the maps can be destroyed. All the trees can be felled and you can leave the maps like the surface of the moon. The sounds and effects are great or I could say mid blowing. The campaign has an amazing storyline which keeps you stuck to the screen and routing for the characters. Alec Baldwin's voice gives it a deep and serious aspect. The multiplayer aspect is amazing it is the best multiplayer interface I ... Read the complete review

Well, this is the game I have been waiting for. If you have ready any of my other reviews, you may spot a “slight” preference on what a strategic or tactical game should be. This, my reviewing chums, is it. Firstly, a bit of background on the developers. World in Conflict has been crafted by Massive Entertainment, the creators of both Ground Control games which are, in my opinion at least, vying for the award of best strategy/tactics games with the Total War games. Therefore, when I found out that world in conflict was on the way, I became truly excited, which is rare in one so cynical! I am relived to say that I have not been disappointed. ...
