The only war game where bitter enemies act like college rivals and call each other by their first names

It's no surprise Battalion Wars carries no online mode, but there isn't even a deathmatch option. Nothing at all. There may be 20 or so missions but they're over in 10 hours at best. Some form of multiplayer really would have helped. As it is, there's barely enough shooting, burning and razing to keep one player happy for long. However, each mission is graded, so all you straight-A gamers may get a bit more mileage out of this extremely civil war.

You'll love
  • Mowing down cutesy soldiers
  • Boomin' sound effects
  • Copious unit and terrain types
You'll hate
  • Targeting system is rough
  • Amnesiac troops make planning a chore
  • No multiplayer. At all
