 Fun Game August 9, 2008
Reminded me alot of Command and Conquer games circa WW2 with alot of futuristic weapons. Cool graphics an suprised by the good AI the enemy had. Sneaky.
 AN UNDER-APPRECIATED GEM! October 27, 2007

It seems that nowadays nobody pays much attention to gameplay as long as the graphics are candied up. Well, along comes a game such as WAR FRONT and it reminds everyone how much fun a good game can be!
This is an EXCELLENT RTS game set in an alternative WWII. New units and experimental vehicles, intuitive buildings and upgrades, clear and realistic graphics; all in all, a solid RTS game that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Not an easy game, mind you. It has slow learning curve and the high AI does not forgive mistakes - but that is what makes the challenge even better!
A true undiscovered and under-appreciated gem!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have enjoyed this game for quite a while. My 7 year old son who is obsessed with WWII really likes to watch it. It gives me an excuse to play it even if my wife don't like me to.
Gameplay is good, AI is pretty good. The scenario is an interesting twist, kinda a "what if Patton got his way" thing.
Good in some ways Bad in others May 6, 2007

The game itself was a good "what if," style of game and had had a good science fiction style. This was why I gave it 4stars overall. It was an extremely hard game to beat, however, and without the aid of adequate trainers and cheat codes, this had to hurt its' appeal with casual gamers. I think the lack of popularity and appeal to most is probably what stopped the game from being right up there with some of the top name releases such as Medieval II and others. There was no flare of trainers produced for the game and the only cheat codes available could be utilized by the other side as well as yourself so, this was no help. One of the most annoying things I encountered was on the War Front home page. Even though I registered and was recognized as such, I was never allowed to post or write a reply to other letters. I wrote the webmaster several times about this but elicited no response. As far buying, I would not buy the game again but, for those of you who are looking for a good science fiction, what if? style of game and might not be hampered by the things I mentioned. This would indeed be a good buy for you.

I've played just about every RTS there is, and this one definitely goes into the "it's a winner" pile. This game is very fun, and if you enjoy RTS at all you don't want to miss this one.
