| 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Well done ubisoft!, By = Fun: This review is from: Theatre of War (DVD-ROM) When I first noticed the game I thought there would be similarties with Sudden Strike 3, which I have played before, and I was right, they are similiar. This is s strategy game based on controlling many units at one time,Armor,Infantry,Artillery,Airpower ect. I just completed the training stage and fought my first battle, where I was in command of a German armored column consisiting of King Tigers, Panthers,Mark IV and other armored vehicles who`s mission it was to silence the guns by the river so the rest of the German forces could break out. After about 30 minutes the Red Army sent me packing. But I was not surprised, its just what I expected for my first outing. I was impressed at the historical accuracy and details of the German and Russian tanks,the way they looked, moved and sounded was awesome! The interface was easy to use and can be learned rather quickly and the music which I consider very important if your going to play a game for a few hours, very pleasent. This is a... Read more  Wouldn't even start up, = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Theatre of War (DVD-ROM) The game loaded onto my father's computer without event, but the trouble began with trying to start the game up. When you double clicked on the icon, an error message appeared and the desktop inverted itself. After hours of trying to find ways to rectify this I finally gave up. We downloaded update patches and contacted the seller of the game (who was of very little help to me. Finally answered my question and request for help 2 weeks after I posed it, and at that point I was just fed up). So, we never got to play this game at all since I returned it. Hope you all have more success than we did. I would strongly encourage you to make sure that your system meets all requirements to play this game before purchasing. As it turned out, the seller told me that the manufacturer revised certain requirements for your system beyond what was listed on the website (my guess is because so many people were having trouble with the game). |
