Gamezilla!

Anyone who is into WWII games, or who feels capable of leading troops into combat, should give this game a try...with all the improvements being made the score could easily jump to 87/100.

GamePower

If developer Playnet.com completes the vision it has for this product, it is a *very* strong contender for Sim Of The Year, if not Game Of The Year.

GameZone

A great game for the soldier while in reserves or the history buff but for the everyday gamer it may be too technically challenging with two little reward.

Game Over Online

One quintessential problem plaguing WWII Online is its incompleteness.

FiringSquad

Most gamers do not have a GHz+ machine, and the ones that do didn't get it so they could put up with agonizing framerates, minute-long loads, and poor graphics. Significant promises were made pertaining to the featureset of the game, and many of these have not yet been delivered.

Gamers' Temple

Currently, the game is a labor of love - it takes a lot of patience, but can be rewarding and very enjoyable. If promised features are added soon, this could be a good game.

IGN

I've been anticipating the electronic battlefield for some time now and while it's exciting to see this first attempt, there's still a lot of room for improvement. The primary issue seems to be stability.

GameSpot

A dangerous mess of a game that can't be recommended to any but the most hard-core game players in its current state. The real concern is that even if the technical issues are resolved, the design issues will remain.

GameSpy

It's unplayable out of the box and incomplete even when patched. But if it can survive, there're signs that WWII Online could be a winner.

Adrenaline Vault

There are certain novel features and innovative efforts present, but they cannot overcome an annoying patch requirement, clunky interface, multiplayer instability, and an unfriendly gaming environment.

Computer Games Magazine

Quite simply, this is a game that just doesn't work.

Oz O. gave it a1:
This whole series along with Eastern and Western front were the worst games ever produced, from lackluster play, to shoddy programming and bugs galore, dont waste $5 at a second hand store on these... was really excited about the prospect of a age of empires type game here, it was just plain horrific.

Daniel W. gave it a1:
This game requires that you have at least 1Gig of ram a 2.2 ghz system, even with that the FPS is very very poor, you cannot be a lonewolf in the game as you are directed by other players as to where you will participate. The CTD rate is absolutely incredible, and you get all of this for the initial box cost and a 15 bucks a month. Dont waste your money on this stinker.
