    Unquestionably a triumph, marking a great improvement over the last game... It relies on gameplay rather than on cutscenes and ephemera, and the variety and suspense of individual battles combined with the simple but effective campaign system mean that it will stay on a good many hard disks for a long time to come.

    Effective integration of the psychological aspects of war and first-rate gameplay customization.

    For those who haven't yet played a Close Combat game, or for veterans looking for new maps and scenarios for this outstanding series, then Close Combat: Invasion Normandy provides plenty of new challenges.

    This game is superb, its even better when played multiplayer. It has to be the best WW2 RTS ever produced i just wish Matrix Games would combine it with Korsen Pocket to make a very involving multi-level Grand & Tactical Strategy Game.… Expand

    This is one of the best games I have ever played, and with the proper tools it quickly becomes one of the most adaptible ever. I have yet to get tired of playing it, and if I ever do, I can just use friendly Qclone to edit it!… Expand
