4 Stars Warhammer
I do not play video games, but my son-in-law received a game system for the X-box 360 for Christmas. He was in need of games, and when I saw this as a lightning deal, I got it for him, and he has really enjoyed it.
1 Star not that good
I thought this game had too much. it was not fun you had to learn 50 commands just to move your guys forward
3 Stars Mediocre at best.
Price: There are several games that are almost exactly like Battle March. Halo Wars, Command & Conquer, Ninety-Nine Nights, and the list continues. This game is okay, but not worth paying more than 20.00 USD.
Graphics: Leaves something to be desired. The characters look like little underdrawn beings without true detail. Not much attention was given to the graphics or design of this game. A basic program obviously.
Gameplay: Nothing special or bad, standard military strategy game. If you beat Command & Conquer or Halo Wars…this ones in the bag.
Controls: Were easily understood. No issues here. Really simple to use.
Scenery: 2D at its best, you will find the game designers did not put much effort into the games scenery.
Overall: I bought it and regret buying it. A waste of my hard earned cash. I will no longer be buying any game that has Warhammer labeled on its cover. Some people may like these filler games, not me. They are filler games, because they take up space.
2 Stars Not what I expected at ALL
I bought this game for my nephew (who is 14) and he played it over at my house. First off…the graphics in the first scene to start the game were great. They were like the pictures that Amazon has shown. But then the game started and the graphics changed. On my parents standard tube tv they were horrible. On my plasma, they were better, but still not very good at all. And then the cutscenes during the games were hideous!…even on my plasma. I have no idea why they wouldn’t use the same type of graphics for all the cutscenes. Now he hasn’t played a whole lot of it, b/c he doesn’t even like the game play…but maybe it includes some more good graphics later.
The game play…so lousy. It was boring, and so repetitive. It is a war/battle sim…and not a good one. Granted, like I said before, he hasn’t played very far into the game. But that was because he got so bored, and disliked the graphics (especially the HORRIBLE cutscenes) that he had no desire to play it any further. I’ve played battle sims before, and I couldn’t even watch this one for very long.
The voices…INCREDIBLY annoying. They repeat the same thing 5 times in a row…and the same voice cuts itself off. I had to turn the sound down while it was being played. And sometimes when they talk…it looks like the old Japanese voice overs where their mouths are moving and it doesn’t go with the voices at all. It reminded me of old school video games..and not good ones.
I would definitely recommend renting this game BEFORE you buy it. It may just save you $50-$60. Or if you really want to buy it to try it, definitely get it used. Its not worth the full price at all. You can get it used for around $20 on ebay if nothing else (I checked b/c he disliked it so much he doesn’t want to keep it).
1 Star Don’t waste your money.
You have been warned. Those people claiming this game is fun or the best warhammer game are lacking some chromosomes and/or have never played a good strategy game. First off, the controls are hideous… NOT just a ‘bit awkward’. Second of all, in order to see what is going on you have to be zoomed out so far that the game has no detail (not that zooming in helps much there either). I have played the same board like 15 times because even when you beat a board it doesn’t save unless you complete a series of boards which the game claims as a level (I am assuming, as I have played the same 3 boards over and over and finally threw the game into the corner as it seriously isn’t worth the time or effort). The game is incredibly repetitive. The overly repeated vocal tracks alone can drive you nuts. All in all… this game will be $9 in under 6 months.
