PC Critic Reviews

The artificial intelligence is brutal in this game. The first few levels are okay but once you get deeper into battle, they learn your strategies and adapt to the way you play.

Has a steeper learning curve than "Kohan 2," and that may turn fans of that series off. It also doesn't have much in common with the original board game, and that is sure to cause an issue with fans. However, once you dig into the game, it's a truly satisfying experience.

The design team did a good job in offering multiple campaigns, scenarios, skirmishes, and the board-game option.

The World War 2 theme of Axis and Allies definitely makes it different enough from "Kohan" to stand on its own. It's a hell of a fun experience no matter which way you look at it.

It's pretty simple, if you like the "Kohan" series you'll probably enjoy this game. If you desire the hectic nature of more traditional real time strategy games, you may not appreciate the simplifications made here.

Delivers in terms of pure excitement and plain and simple fun. The game packs in more than enough challenge to keep even the seasoned RTS veterans gritting their teeth, while the online component is sure to keep most any player giddy.

Overall, the title feels disjointed when going between map strategy and RTS combat. [Jan 2005, p.138]

The only real problem I had when playing the game was getting units to break off an engagement.

The problem with A&A, besides the negative points brought forward above, is the WW2 and RTS genres of gaming are two very prestigious genres, and it doesn't do enough to top what else is out there on offer.

A very basic real-time strategy with AI issues. Although everything about it has been seen a million times before, the game is still pretty entertaining from time to time. [Jan. 05]
