This game opens up with a hilarious intro “In the modern world great leaders resolve their conflict with words like…….SCUD LAUNCHER……CARPET BOMBING…….TOMAHAWK MISSILE”.
The game feels like a lowkey parody of modern conflict and the war on terror. We’ve got detention camps, suicide bombers and angry mobs. This is the only time I’ve ever played an RTS game and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. The part of the allure of this game is the real-life factions, equipment and vehicles. As a kid I completely loved the US faction because of the jets but playing this as an edgy adult I absolutely love the GLA faction and its units. On the downside I felt the missions were too little and too short, I didn’t even get to make a scud launcher and nuke during the entire playthrough just because of how quickly every mission ended.
I absolutely adore this game. Some of the vehicles are based on real life, at least the planes that I know of f22, f117, Mig 1.44, Comanche. There are unique vehicles and infantry in each faction with some interesting skills. I'd also like to mention the OST as well, the orchestral music slaps hard. America has epic orchestral with rock guitar at times, GLA has Arabic/South Asian ethnic music mixed in and China has its own ethnic instruments mixed over the orchestral pieces. Overall, this is a very fun albeit a bit short game with just seven missions for each faction.
