 Some problems...but still a great game July 16, 2008
First of all, this PC game is exactly like the board game. That is the best part. Unfortunately there are some problems. The AI is very dumb and makes very odd moves. A seasoned player will easily destroy the computer no matter if they are the Axis or the Allies. Also, the game is a bit buggy. Weird things happen once in a while that mess up your game, lock up the game, or give you an unfair advantage over the computer. An example is the computer will buy a bunch of submarines and none of then will appear on the map during the Place Units phase. The computer will constantly buy more but none of them will appear so the computer just keeps wasting it's money.
However, you can overcome these defects by either playing all the countries yourself or adjusting the game settings. You can change the cost, attack values, defense, and movement of any unit for any country. This way you can give the computer a big advantage and make the game much more difficult to win.
Overall...this is a great game despite the problems. Anyone who loves the board game will be very happy with this version.
Simple/Basic....But Fun! June 23, 2008
This game is a good time if you're looking for a war board game. I've played it for the past 8 years....The only thing that really stopped me from playing it was losing a copy and then having a copy stolen with my DVD case....I think it's well made for what it is.
p.s. It is dirty cheap!

Not entirly historicale accurate but fun over all. I have been a fan of the board game and this computer game is great...the AI is a bit simplistic but can hurt you if it wants to.
 Not as good as it could be April 2, 2007

This is a great board game. I found the AI on the computer version to be very weak. I had to give the other side major bonuses, and pick the weakest country and give my self the poorest allies in order to get an even slightly challenging game out of it. The interface was also pretty weak, though the graphics were okay. Selecting and moving units around the board was the most cumbersome part of the game, especially with transports. Each time you want to move a group of transports and have them do the same thing, you have to handle each of them individually. There should have been a grouping function.
Granted this is an older version, of the game. I would have probably not bought it if it was clear on the advertizement that this was for DirectX 5.0. That would have been a dead giveaway. All in all, it may be okay as a multiplayer interface for people to play real people on, but don't buy it to be challenged by the computer, you may as well be playing against a neophyte.

Follows the board-game pretty closely. Anyone who enjoys the style of the board-game will probably enjoy this computer version. The AI strategy could be better though. Overall I enjoy playing this version on computer. A lot of the time consuming tasks of the board game are calculated automatically by the computer saving a lot of time.
