This game rocks!
This game, is the hard core strategy game that strategy gamers are looking for. Enter a realistic world, choose your troops, and call upon naval, artillery, and air support. Not only will you have to deal with the placement and orders of your troops, you will also have to survive with death, injury, and even soldiers being scared! Ammunition may run out, your tanks may explode, yet, you must strive on. This game should be on the top of every of every gamer's list. So, give it a try! I love it, will you?
Close Call
This game came highly recommended, and had an admirable pedigree. However, the resulting Close Combat offspring just proves two intellects don't make a genius. In fact, this child is simply dull. The squads are awkward to command, and don't have any sense of a.i. The constant need to toggle perspectives adds to the confusion, and ultimately is so distracting the objective becomes muddled. I tried very hard to like this game, and the only saving grace is I bought on sale for under $20. The salesperson told me they predicted they would have a hard time giving it away, to which I chuckled thinking they must have made a mistake. Well, I can't give my copy away to any of my friends. The original close combat series is as good as it gets. Don't waste your $$$ on this dogchild.
A Vastly Underrated game, you'll be pleasantly surprised
I was in a electronics store one day and I was in the PC game section. I do most of my gaming on a console, so was a rare instance, purchasing a PC game. I came across this game G.I. Combat. I cashed out and went home to play it. I have to say that while not "great" this game was a pleasant surprise.
