Summary: Real War: the real deal
Review: The bottom-line is Real War has a lot of potential, but it is in desperate need of a serious patching. The good news is that the developers have released an "initial patch", which means a follow-up is in the works. Some out-of-the-box issues were quickly apparent, one or two of which were rectified with the "initial patch", but there are quite a few which still remain.
Any RTS that permits your troops to stand, oblivious, to incoming enemy fire without reacting to defend themselves (or, at the very least *run away*) is in need of some serious AI attention. It is bad enough when your units don't respond to an adjacent unit being attacked, but when the unit *itself* doesn't move/shoot/duck/run/anything(!), and just stands there(!!) it is completely unacceptable. Six or seven years ago it could be forgiven, but gamers are much more savvy now and we've grown to expect a little more than that.
In my years of gaming I've heard about many accounts of games with crash-to-desktop errors, but I'd never once experienced it myself... until now. I've had several fatal errors while playing this game, seemingly during level loads, even after patching.
Which brings me to the save/load times: abysmal. There's really no reason why a gamer with a fast PIII, 256 Mb RAM, and a RAID should have to sit staring at a black screen just waiting to go from the gameplay map to the savegame menu. What exactly is it doing during all that time? Starcraft can save an 8-player LAN game in about three seconds, all without even leaving the gameplay map, so we know this is not an insurmountable problem.
On the upside, the game does look pretty good, but it seems a bit choppy, even when there's not a whole lot going on onscreen (and it's obvious that processor cycles are *not* being eaten up by efficient AI). The sound effects and radio chatter work well. R. Lee Ermey's voice-overs are gimmicky, but fun. Even the controls, while clunky at first, become pretty smooth once you get used to them, allowing you to manage an awful lot of units with only a few clicks. The map-zoom slider-bar is a great idea that I hope to see implemented in future games.
If Real War is the "game you've been waiting for" don't let these niggling issues scare you off. Out-of-the-box, it definitely has its issues, but the developers have been quick to move with a patch, and I'm fairly confident most of these other problems will be hammered out in the future. If you're an old codger like me, stingy with his gaming dollar, wait for another patch. However, it's still enjoyable, so if you're patient and forgiving about your software, don't be afraid to grab a copy.

Summary: Great Fun But Not Ready For Market
Review: This game is a great strategy game in many respects but there are way too many technical issues with it. The game is known to crash. It works fine if you turn off most of the enhanced graphics features inclusing 3D Acceleration. This game can be the best there is but it seems it was rushed to market.

Summary: Totally Bogus
Review: This game is not realistic at all. It is the worst war game I have ever played and I consider it to be a total rip-off. It is extremely doubtful that the US military uses anything remotely like this for training as is claimed. There is very little strategy, you are extremely limited in what you can build, which means your opponent is following the same strat you are. For example, you can only build one large bomber (realistically called a "carpet bomber" in the game) so you can't experiment with differing air power strats, nor could I build more than one airfield. This game is little more than a poor copy of Warcraft or Starcraft but is not nearly as much fun, as challenging, or even as realistic (Real Bad considering those two are fantasy and science fiction).

Summary: OK
Review: This game is OK. It could be better. First, the Units get stuck
and they can't move. Then I have to destroy it and buy a new one. I also don't like how long it takes to load. The graphics are good though. There is not enough missions. Only 24, that sucks. It would be alot better if there were more levels. The last level for the US is the best. I hate how the computer always rebuilds the bridges. The vehicles are good. I would seriously recomend the COMAND & CONQUER series.

Summary: This game is very high quality
Review: this game must have taken a long time to make. the cinimatics are amazing. the thing that really persuaded me to buy the game is they have the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket doing the voice overs.
this game returns to the old fashioned style of RTS while fitting in a bleep load of great features. one of the features is the ability to select a target from a menu instead of having to click on a target going 100 mph(which is very hard in this game). another cool feature is the ability to slect any of your units through a menu that has tabs for land, sea, air, spec ops, and builds. though this all might sound complicated it is actually very simple. if you want a "real" RTS than look no further.

Summary: BEST GAME FOR PC
Review: This has got to be the best game for pc. It is extremely entertaining and has great graphics. There are so many different units and buildings you won't be able to remember them all. The only problem with the game is that it takes too long to load, but the loading is worth it. Best of all, you dont have to mine for resources or money, unlike on starcraft and other RTS games a helicopter flys in and brings you money to build units and buildings. This game will surely keep you entertained for...years! It is worth every penny and I highly reccomend this game and the sequel too.

Summary: Finally, something different from sci fi or futuristic war
Review: This is a RTS I have been waiting for for a long time now. Real units and base types, scenarios, maps, logistics, etc. I cant tell you how boring sci-fi or futuristic RTS titles get after awhile. I enjoy how the game played as well as enemy AI. It gets 5 stars for being what I wanted, REAL, and ultra cool. The only flaw in this game is the pathfinding, which can be a little wirey if your buildings are close together. Just build your vehicle yards away from confined areas. However this is something that will be adressed in a patch no doubt, so dont fret. Overall, the game is very cool, but if you think the game tends to drag out over one map, just remember it is a military simulation and not fast paced like Command and Conquer too. Because this is real.

Summary: A must have for vets and war-pigs
Review: This is everything I wished was different about Command and Conquer. It is not unrealistically fast paced. The burdensome tasks of manually extracting supplies and minerals in other games consumes half of your game time. Real War allows you to focus on the issues that matter--Strategic Military Coordination... It only gets 4 stars because keeping track of aircraft sent out on missions can be difficult.
