Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Some problems...but still a great game

First of all, this PC game is exactly like the board game. That is the best part. Unfortunately there are some problems. The AI is very dumb and makes very odd moves. A seasoned player will easily destroy the computer no matter if they are the Axis or the Allies. Also, the game is a bit buggy. Weird things happen once in a while that mess up your game, lock up the game, or give you an unfair advantage over the computer. An example is the computer will buy a bunch of submarines and none ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Simple/Basic....But Fun!
This game is a good time if you're looking for a war board game. I've played it for the past 8 years....The only thing that really stopped me from playing it was losing a copy and then having a copy stolen with my DVD case....I think it's well made for what it is.

Not entirly historicale accurate but fun over all. I have been a fan of the board game and this computer game is great...the AI is a bit simplistic but can hurt you if it wants to.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not as good as it could be
This is a great board game. I found the AI on the computer version to be very weak.

The interface was also pretty weak, though the graphics were okay. Selecting and moving units around the board was the most cumbersome part of the game, especially with transports. Each time you want to move a group of transports and have them do ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Ken
Follows the board-game pretty closely. Anyone who enjoys the style of the board-game will probably enjoy this computer version. The AI strategy could be better though. Overall I enjoy playing this version on computer. A lot of the time consuming tasks of the board game are calculated automatically by the computer saving a lot of time.
