direct control every unit as if you were playing a 3rd person shooter.This new Assault Squad game brings significant game engine and visual improvements as well, with special attention paid to ones that were highly requested by the players. To truly bring the battles to life though there is the new extreme game mode designed for huge battles on spectacular maps. Commanders can now faceoff against opponents on various new multiplayer 1v1 – 8v8 maps.
It is unlikely you'll be disappointed.Men of War: Assault Squad 2 features new single player style skirmish modes that take players from extreme tank combat to deadly sniper stealth missions. If you've no idea what that game was about, try a demo of this. This is a shame, because as a strategy game, very few titles reach the epic scale and excitement of Men of War's biggest battles. The voice-acting really, really doesn't work and you actually feel embarrassed to be listening to it.
The audio isn't a problem - until the characters speak. Some slowdown occurs on the more congested maps, but most of the time the game plays smoothly. Graphically, Men of War is pleasant enough and it'll run on most systems. What you start a mission with is usually what you finish with, so caution is advised. Bear in mind when you're playing, you'll rarely get the chance to replace downed men. Most maps expand as you progress, becoming larger the more objectives you complete. There's a choice of three campaigns to plough through (Soviets, Germans and Allies) either solo or co-operatively (incidentally, the definitive way to play the game). In fact, it does this better than Relic's game. It also has elements of Company of Heroes - move your pointer over a piece of scenery and silhouettes of your men appear, telling you how they will deploy themselves behind or around it.
Men of War resembles a loot-based role-playing title (such as Commandos, Diablo or Sudden Strike) where you control small squads of men from a tilted top-down perspective across a well drawn and animated map. Now they've returned to WWII, aiming to make the Soldiers experience bigger, better and more successful. But Russian behemoth 1C weren't to be stopped. Despite this, it didn't sell as many copies as it should have done, but it did well enough to be rewarded with a sequel - Faces of War.īy this time, people were fed up of the setting and potential buyers ignored it, preferring to bask in the glow of their X-Stationsand Playboxes.
It was great, we loved it and lavished word-related praise on it. Cast Your Mind back a few years and you may well recall a plucky little WWII strategy game going by the name of Soldiers: Heroes of World War II.
