Not as complex, or as fun, as they hype it up to be. You would find it impossible to replicate real life scenarios, with wars declared by AI for no reasons. It's an unfinished product, which becomes apparent when you load up a save game, with countries crumbling like dominoes.IE China ceasing to exist and is absorbed by Mongolia...what???????

The AI are total morons and are terribly coded, and the multiplayer is a broken feature. Not only is there no match making or even serve browser (you can only connect via LAN) when you do get playing, stats and features displayed to each player almost immeidately go out of sync. Over all good, but much improvement is needed.…Full Review »
This game is horribly addicting! For me the strength of the game is the Shattered States campaign that results in a global free-for-all. Playing as a second or third tier nation results in vicious campaigns in the middle of nowhere and supply is just as important as the latest weapons. Oodles of fun!
Peacetime is boring though, so play like it a really detailed game of Risk and just have fun with it.…Full Review »
