 Less than thrilling...., 2007-08-10
I'd had high hopes for this game - a game that is a nuclear war simulation using a set-up similar to the film "War Games".
Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed - the game is slow (it normally runs in real time). You can only make certain maneuvers during certain phases (e.g. at Defcon 4 you can do somethings that cannot be done at Defcon 2). Once your forces are in place, all you do is wait to launch your missiles and, in turn, watch your opponent launch his. Not much too it really.
I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I believe there are other war-oriented games that are much more exiting to play.
