    Has a steeper learning curve than "Kohan 2," and that may turn fans of that series off. It also doesn't have much in common with the original board game, and that is sure to cause an issue with fans. However, once you dig into the game, it's a truly satisfying experience.

    The World War 2 theme of Axis and Allies definitely makes it different enough from "Kohan" to stand on its own. It's a hell of a fun experience no matter which way you look at it.

    The single-player modes are marred by questionable AI which removes much of the intensity and in effect, fun, of playing the game.

    Unfortunately, a game sells on gameplay, and after four campaign missions I wasn't feeling any desire to keep going.

    Very nice World War II RTS game. I especially like the global WWII mode, in which you take control of Germany, Japan, Britain, America, or Russia and win the war with the opposing factions, which are predefined and cannot be changed, so it's not like HOI in that regard. There are two campaigns, one for the Axis and one for the Allies, which are also quite nice. Quite nice.… Expand

    The premise of this game had a lot of potential. The notion of participating as commander of the armed forces in the greatest and most epic battle of humankind's recent history surely captured the imagination of RTS gamers, WWII enthusiasts, and fans of the original board game alike. Regretfully, the developers were not able to realize this potential. Sadly, the game is dissapointing. Specifically, the real-time battles are mediocre at best (falling short of the benchmark set by CDV's Blitzkrieg). The WWII mode is not bad but lost its appeal after I won the first few times. Sorry Atari/TimeGate, but you dropped the ball.… Expand
