CheatCC writes: "There have been a handful of solid WWII real-time strategy titles released for the PC in recent years, but none capture the action of the conflict on quite as grand a scale as the Sudden Strike series. With an emphasis on war strategy and combat over resource management, the series aims to let players enjoy the fight without feeling bogged down by the gritty details. Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory continues to carries the torch onward to victory with an impressive new look and other improvements, even though it hasn't completely ironed out all of the issues from past entries."
Over 750 units. - Introduced fuel system. - Many new units and landscapes such as normandy, france, berlin, desert, westfront, eastfront, kursk,... - Repairing of buildings avaliable. - Realistic lines of sight. - SSF campaing included.
IGN reports: Leading video game developer and publisher, Fireglow Games, announce the list of changes for the Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory -Addon.
Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory is the latest installment in the award-winning, critically acclaimed and hugely popular Sudden Strike series. It features historically authentic models built to scale, fully interactive giant maps and full 3-D state-of-the-art graphics in the popular Sudden Strike style. Only Sudden Strike plays like the 'real thing'. WW2 gaming at its best: on land, at sea and in the air!
It's no Company of Heroes, that's for sure. It has some of the whiz bang WW2 fun, but very little of the strategic to-ing and fro-ing that makes very movement forward an exercise in more than simply overwhelming numbers. It's fine entertainment for an hour at a time, but there are too many niggling problems to keep playing for long.
