If you think you'd like a little more realism in your RTS games but shudder when somebody says the name "Jane's," Real War is definitely something you should check out, despite its polish flaws.
69
A great concept filled with potential butchered by its numerous problems.
54
You'll likely spend more time laboriously and tediously pumping out units and then frantically chasing after them than doing anything rewarding or intelligent...Real War plays like a tired, third-rate RTS copycat.
47
A mediocre and rather flaccid RTS in the mould of "Command & Conquer"...an unoriginal and ultimately dull game.
40
It's about as realistic as an episode of Hogan's Heroes. Add poor path finding and sub-par combat AI, and you have a sure fire recipe for real-time strategy blandness.
40
Problems such as an awkward control interface, overbalanced gameplay, and easily confounded AI sadly undermine the innovations.
20
It's an ugly, boring and vastly unoriginal RTS.

The official grand-daddy of sim/management games, Real War is finally coming to review bespoke, premium version aimed at offering a more accessible version for new audiences. It's a bit of a bitter-sweet event - the joy of many being able to dabble in a legend in way that doesn't involve looking at code is mitigated somewhat due to the fact that the only reason we're getting this is because the developers are being let down by the US system.

Really funny game. Good graphics for 2001, easy to play and good effects. A lot of units for use and cool things like long range rockets, atomic bombs or rocket launchers.
