ParaWorld is a thoroughly enjoyable RTS. the interesting setting, units, and faction differences make for a decently solid core gameplay. The script on teh other hand... well, it's funny for all the wrong reasons. after the first mission, the tough, gruff-talking scientist's dialogue devolves into (no exaggeration) non-stop surfer slang.

This game seems to have been highly overrated by some. Although it has some nice cut-scenes it is still nothing special. I was hoping for it to be a fresh look at the RTS genre but it just adds some uninspiring features to the everyday RTS framework. The unit levelling is poorly thought out with there being little benefit to improving your basic troops (as there is a such a small unit limit that you will be forfeiting more advanced troops). The plot of the single player mode is really not worth mentioning as the missions are far from involved and you end up just playing many levels as if they were skirmishes. I'm am sorry to say that I do not have many good comments to make about this games as it has been so disappointing. The graphics are nice but are dwarfed by the graphics and unit animation displayed in Company of Heroes (an RTS released around the same time).…Full Review »
