  1. A pretty good add-on for a great game, except for missing multiplayer. Adventures of USSR Marines are far more interesting than eg. Normandy. [Jan 2010]
  2. Although it still posses many of the same problems, and it's difficulty spikes range from mildly difficult to insanely impossible, with a strict attention to historical detail and missions designed to test you strategic skills to their maximum, Red Tide can be an immensely rewarding game, but one that does require a great deal of patients and discipline.
  3. Surely the strategists among you will be pleased with the new content, but those who expected more from this expansion have every reason to be unsatisfied.

    A nice continuation of Men Of War, without multiplayer though. If you are bored with big formations, and would like to take part in some sercet, silent operations of Russian special forces, this game is a perfect choice. Lack of multi is a bit disappointing, but anyway the singleplayer still rocks. Good game! Expand
