The game's combination of strong story, seriously tactical real-time battles, gorgeous graphics, and real-time role-playing, make this one of the best surprises of the year.
Less good than the interface, but not bad by any means is Original War’s graphics.

The sound track leaves something to be desired. The music is good, and the effects are typical or what one would expect, but the vocal characterizations are not that good, and the game is laced with strong language (profanity).
A good game, if a little behind the technology curve, but who cares. The story is entertaining, the gameplay solid, and the voices funny.
Despite the somewhat rough production values, Original War delivers interesting small-scale RTS action. [May 2002, p.81]
The sort of real-time strategy game that would have been heralded as innovative, or even original, had it been released several years ago.
The game makes noble attempts to take the RPG elements of character importance and development and blend them with a twisted real-time strategy, but although the effort is commendable in spirit, the final outcome is so harshly lacking in so many departments that it actually hurts to play it.
Original war jest moją ulubioną grą strategiczną typu RTS zawiera wiele mechanik których brakuje w innych strategiach np. ilość ludzi których używamy w misjach są ograniczone a każda z postaci jest unikatowa jeśli umrze to nie spotkamy jej w kolejnych misjach, szkoda że premiera byłą dość problematyczna i wiele osób które chciały zagrać nie mogły zagrać przez co popularność tytułu była mała ale wciąż ta produkcja jest rozwijana np. SGUI czyli nowy inferface który unowocześnia wygląd gry i daje nowe możliwości dla moderów

This game is actually fun but some major gripes are preventing me from truely enjoying it. While I realize its an older game I noticed the voice acting is TERRIBLE! It was so bad I actually had to turn off character voices. Most of the characters chaffed me from the start, the female characters sounded like teenage boys who had their audio tweaked. Half of the male characters remind me of Kyle Schwartz from South Park (dont know who he is, look him up!) The other half remind me of the stereotypical Duke Nukem style character that was incredibly popular in that era.
On top of this, the game play feels slow and sluggish. Its not bad but it could have been done quite a bit better. Other games, which came out around the same time, had better game play despite minimal rpg elements (which is honestly, the only thing worthwhile in this game)... If they could have taken similar controls and gameplay to ground control, they would have been golden.

Summary A real-time strategy game in which the plot influences mission objectives and which has multiple endings depending on player's actions. Contrary to other games, there is no other way of creating new human units. Each man or woman is unique. [Altar Interactive]
