Great game, but needs a lot to be great. May 4, 2008
This game is one of the best strategy games in the computer history ever (as the critics and developers say.)
To me, I think it just a new strategic game that has some new features and ideas; which it makes it just a fun to play the game, nothing less nothing more. These new features or ideas to some people is good things to me is just normal, but for my cousin wasn't that good.
The game graphics and game play is great, but there one problem about it; which it needs a high-end game machine to play. Due 2 core processor around 2.13 with 4gb 667 of ram and 8800gts video card it's not enough and I don't know why?
 SO FAR THE BEST STRATEGY PC-GAME IN THE WORLD RECENTLY May 2, 2008
IN THIS GAME YOU PLAY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF ACTUALLY TAKING CONTROL & ACTION IN THE BATTLE FIELD WITH YOUR TROOPS, ARMOURED-APC's & AIR COMMANDOS. PLAYING THE GAME TAKES SO MUCH FUN & CHALLENGE THAT MAKES UP A DEVELOPMENT OF SKILL OF TAKING CONTROL HOW TO WIN OR DEFEND STRATEGICALLY.
Excellent RTS! April 30, 2008
I was very pleased with the World in Conflict game, I couldn't stop playing it until I ended it. I am looking forward for the expansion "Soviet Assault"!

I bought this game as a gift for my boyfriend. He absolutely loves it! And, delivery was extremely quick, only about 2 days even though I chose standard delivery.
Quality game April 17, 2008
The game is must for anyone that enjoys RTS. The graphics are quite good, especially if you have a quality video card, but even if you don't you can lower the settings to get an acceptable frame rate.
Wonderful replay value since you can try to win each scenario in a variety of ways. You can win in 10 to 20 hours depending on the level of detail you put in each mission.
The only downside is that i have been having problems trying to play multiplayer over the internet.
Buy the game! you won't regret it.
