WORLD IN CONFLICT
Rating - 9.5 Spectacular
It goes
without saying that it's a good thing World War III didn't erupt between
the United States and the now-defunct Soviet Union. For many of us who
were children during the Cold War, the fear of being annihilated in a
nuclear conflict was very real. So it's a bit strange now that we can
look back at that era and have the luxury of imagining what could have
been. Or we can play World in Conflict, Sierra and Massive
Entertainment's incredible new real-time strategy game. This isn't your
standard RTS game, as World in Conflict doesn't follow the familiar
model of resource gathering, base building, and swarming armies.
Instead, it feels almost like an action game masquerading as a strategy
game, and it offers up a relentlessly fun and amazing new approach to
the genre, one that works in single-player and even more so in
multiplayer.
.
World in Conflict is set in an
alternate-history version of 1989. Instead of the Berlin Wall falling
and communism collapsing, the Soviet Union launches an assault on
Western Europe, and the United States rushes its forces in to aid its
Western allies. Four months into the conflict, after the US Navy has
been attrited down, the USSR launches a surprise invasion in Seattle and
pushes inland. In the 14-mission single-player campaign, you play as a
company commander who is part of the meager US defense; there is no
campaign from the Soviet perspective, though you can play as the Red
Army in multiplayer. However, the campaign twists and weaves, letting
you experience a sample of the European conflict, battle in remote areas
of the Soviet Union, and bring the fight to New York City.
Yes,
the story is a bit far-fetched, but World in Conflict does a great job
of making the implausible seem believable. That's partly due to the
excellent storytelling, which is spearheaded by pitch-perfect narrator
Alec Baldwin. He's backed up by a great voice acting cast that brings
the principle and secondary characters to life, along with a story that
offers up emotional and sometimes humorous vignettes from a world at
war. For instance, you'll hear a soldier's futile battle against Army
bureaucracy, the phone conversation of a husband and wife, and the
deliberations of the president and his top military advisors. While
there's a small misstep or two, such as a gospel song in the weirdest of
places, the game effectively tugs at your heartstrings, which is rare
for a strategy game, especially when it concerns the fate of one
character whom you presume to be entirely one-dimensional but isn't.
Some of these vignettes are conveyed through in-game cutscenes, while
others are delivered through graphic-novel-style drawings. World in
Conflict also features some incredible prerendered cutscenes that are so
good you actually wish there were more of them.
This isn't a
hardcore wargame or simulation. There are far too many gameplay
abstractions for that, from being able to air-drop reinforcements on the
battlefield within seconds to repairing equipment almost instantly.
Instead, World in Conflict is thrilling game about destruction. You get
to unleash all the firepower of modern military units on an open
battlefield, but you also get to experience the challenges of combined
arms warfare. That's because the game has a great rock-paper-scissors
combat system that captures the vicious circle of war. Tanks can kill
tanks and other vehicles well, but aren't so good against infantry.
Artillery can kill infantry easily, but aren't so good against tanks.
Helicopters can knock out vehicles well, but are vulnerable to infantry
and antiaircraft units. It's a constant chess match about what you need
to bring to battle and how you use it. The game is also smart enough to
limit the number of units you can control. Instead of commanding the
entire battlefield, you'll have only a relative handful of units.
Then
there's the game's excellent resource system. You're given a pool of
reinforcement points that you can use to purchase units. Naturally, the
powerful units cost a lot more than weaker ones, so you've got to choose
quantity over quality. But it goes a bit deeper than that, as different
classes of units have different abilities. For instance, light
helicopters are some of the best scouts in the game, able to locate
enemies from a distance, but they're extremely vulnerable. Medium
helicopters are able to shoot down other helicopters with their
air-to-air missiles, but they don't do a lot of damage to armor. Heavy
helicopters can eat tanks for breakfast, but aren't effective against
other helicopters. So while your initial inclination might be to load up
on heavy choppers and go after enemy armor, a wise player recognizes
that there are many roles to play on the battlefield. If your units are
destroyed, their cost is slowly refunded back into your reinforcement
pool, so you can order up replacements, although veteran units are more
effective, giving you an incentive to keep your experienced units alive
as long as possible., because World in Conflict can also ratchet up the
pressure by tossing in time limits. For instance, you might have to
seize a town in less than 45 minutes, or achieve another objective in
far less time. The margins for error are much smaller when you're
working under a deadline.

The nice thing about this system is that it
effectively gives you an unlimited number or resources and units to work
with, so it's fairly forgiving to nontraditional strategy gamers. If
that seems a bit easy, don't worry, because World in Conflict can also
ratchet up the pressure by tossing in time limits. For instance, you
might have to seize a town in less than 45 minutes, or achieve another
