Pros

Huge scope.
Tons of units at your control.
Easy to access cinematic camera to watch the action unfold.
Little needless micromanagement.
Interface is good & easy to get used too.
Two campaigns offer plenty of variety.

Cons

Utterly generic feel with braindead AI.
Presentation focus on cinematic view vs. in-game might be off-putting for those expecting something similar to Company of Heroes.
Lousy voice-acting.
Muddle color palette makes tracking troops a challenge.
Gameplay is too simplistic.

World War II games are as numerous as the bad decisions made in a college dorm. Gamers are constantly exposed to various aspects of the war even though they didn’t live through it. As such, it’s easy to start to disregard any game that is...

As far as resource management and build orders go, I'm a complete novice. So, as a casual RTS fan, I remember feeling apprehensive the first time I hopped into Wargaming.net's WWII RTS game Order of War. Thankfully, this Square Enix published...
