Developer Fireglow Games has said that Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory will be released in the UK and Ireland on 5th December.
Meanwhile those of you in France can be playing it as early as 23rd November, followed by those of you in German-speaking territories on 30th November.
Sudden Strike 3 is the latest installment in the WWII-inspired real-time strategy series, one famed for historical accuracy in its portrayal of units, events and landscapes. For instance, those horses the Polish used to battle the German tanks should be as useless as they sound.
The biggest update this time is a revamped engine to bring your co-ordinated land, sea and air attacks to life with fancy lighting and booming bomb sounds. You should also find that you can realistically blow all sorts of things up, and litter your kilometre-long front lines with the sort of debris you would expect.
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.
