Men of War

In the already crowded field of World War II real-time strategy games, new contenders have to provide something special to distinguish themselves. In order to achieve this, game developers must experiment and push beyond the ordinary, creating games that give us new reasons to revisit WWII again and again. Men of War succeeds at carving a niche within the genre by delivering an epic campaign full of historical detail, plus the ability to jump into your units with a third-person "direct control" mode. Furthermore, Men of War forgoes base building so that you can focus on tactics. These elements combine to produce an experience steeped in history and rich in detail that will reward anyone looking for a challenging new twist on the genre.



Unfortunately, the Faces of War sequel was less enjoyable and tended to emphasize the things that did not quite work the first time around. Now Best Way is back with their third attempt, Men of War , which, in spite of a few lingering problems, is one of the most enjoyable and challenging tactical games we've played in a long time.
