i know its old but i cant get over the fact that so many places rated this game over 9/10. gamespot has it at 9.5.

it was because of this that i actually bought the game off direct2drive because it looked promising.

good things about it are that you dont have to gather resources to build your army but thats also the bad thing about it. you only get a certain amount of points and its hardly enough to warrant a "BATTLE".

The single player is the best place to find big battles and there not even realistic. its like you control 10 tanks in one mission and you end up killing wave after wave of enemy's (that come at you in small waves mind you, the battles don't even get more than 30 units in a battle!).

the single player story is good i liked it but it was way to short.

the multiplayer is lacking bad. You literally can only control 9 units maximum if you buy the cheapest thing in each set. and theres only 4 different things to pick from.

multiplayer games are over in 10 mins. which can be good if your not into the long times in battle but usually once things start picking up such as people getting enough points to launch nukes the game is over.

My point is i dunno how the hell this game got anything over than an 8. its seriously lacking in content and replay value. Good story line but other than that it wasnt worth the 50$ nor the 9.5 score.

World in Conflict is fucking terrible, and I completely agree with you.

I'd like to add that you are paying 20 bucks extra for the collector's edition for a piece of a fucking wall and like, 1 bonus video.

I really enjoyed the demo at first but then I realized that the multiplayer was severely limited compared to Ground Control 2 which is a really similar game except its sci-fi with bigger battles and the multiplayer was far better.


However, the game did have easily the best trailer I have ever seen:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvsbfCCap3w

I get goosebumps everytime I watch that lol, imagine if that was a movie trailer? I would buy tickets based on that trailer alone.

I think the most epic trailer for me has to be the original Dawn of War.

Dawn of War is pretty much the most epic everything.
