    Buy this game! The single player campaign is nice but get it for the online multiplayer fun. I've never been so addicted to an online game and I've gotten other people hooked on it also. The online play is non stop action. The graphics engine is also very well done. Explosion effects are top notch and along with the sound effects make for a very engrossing battle experience. This game is pretty cheap at most places so it is definitely worth the purchase. Be careful, you'll be playing online matches and realize 5-8 hours just flew by.… Expand

    A great buy if you haven't already purchased the game. If you have already purchased you might be underwhelmed by the new content. But if this is your first stab at World in Conflict I highly advise you try it out. Otherwise you might want to skip this one.

    The fact that they can "Trick" players into buying an expansion that really isn't one, Infuriates me. I feel like i wasted what was it? $20 for basically just a few campaign maps? I mean common, the Download was only like 10mb-20mb, What a waste of 6 months.

    Score mostly based on core game; would've expected more new content and a way to skip past already-played missions (usa); a more substantial graphics upgrade, coded with multi-threading and DX 10 quality options I know there are a few dx10 options, but they don't sem fundamental- added-on at last minute. Finally, we all know that this add-on is just the product of a wasted console-port effort!… Expand

    I bought this as as pack with the original game. I wouldn't call it real time strategy because there's no strategy in it. The story is well thought out and the cutscenes/voiceovers are convincing. The game engine itself is nice and I didn't experience any bug/crash while doing the whole SP campaign. Don't buy this game if you're looking for strategy, because as I said earlier there is none. You are given very short-terms objectives and you have to follow them to the letter.… Expand

    A very good game with nice graphics and gameplay that is fun, although fairly unoriginal. The campaign is good with an interesting plot, although i'd rather have a choice between the two factions rather than them alternating as you progress, as it gets confusing. There's also a lack of a decent single player skirmish mode, which is bad if you like quick battles. The rest of the game is quite good though, and definitely worth a try.… Expand

    A fantastic RTS game. It does away with base building, and instead uses reinforcements you can air drop into the battle. This system also means that when all your units are gone, you don't lose the game, as any reinforcement points that were used on that unit get refunded, so you can get back into the fight quickly. The Tactical Aid is amazing. It allows you to call in Artillery, Air support etc. The amount of tactical aid powers you get is amazing. You could level an entire city with the Tactical Aid. It also looks amazing when you call down a rain of artillery down on your enemies. In terms of Graphics the game is solid. Explosions look satisfying, and the unit, terrain and environmental details are nice and clear. If your new to WiC then the control scheme might seem strange for an RTS game. As you control it more like an FPS game than a standard RTS game. Due to this, it could very well be ported over to consoles without any trouble at all. In Soviet Assault you essentially play two campaigns rolled into one. You'll be playing as both the USA and Russian forces. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes their RTS games.… Expand

    Have to give the game props for trying to tell the story from the Soviet side, but ultimately it was pretty uninteresting storyline. It ended on another cliffhanger like the original and it was only 6 missions long which is quite short. The placement of the missions into the original games mission list didn't flow very well either. There really isn't any "new" content, just missions and a story. This expansion suffers from the same let-downs of the original.… Expand

    Soviet Assault doesn't expand on World in Conflict enough to make it an automatic purchase. New players will get the best experience here. [Apr 2009, p.84]

    To everyone who liked, or still likes, World in Conflict, Soviet Assault is a must-have. The simple fact alone, that you're finally able to play as a commander in the Russian Army is sort of a fans dream come true. Unfortunately though, the original's slight overview-problems still haven't been solved.

    The first expansion for the award-winning World in Conflict features six new campaign maps from the USSR perspective. Invade America with the soviet army and free the nation with the weapons of Communism. A good add-on for those who own the game and look for further and new challenges. Soviet Assault is a good expansion that does its job well, just by adding a few maps to the original game.
