World War III is 3D RTS developed by Really Pump, the team behind Earth 2150 and The Moon Project. The game takes you to an unknown future. The political crisis goes on for months, and a wave of demonstrations has  broken out around the world. A secret conference of the Central Geological UN Commission reveals that worldwide oil stocks have plummeted to dangerously low levels, oil reserves will run out within 8-10 years. As this proves too short for even the most highly industrialized countries to switch their economies over to alternative energy sources, protests close the world and succumbs the whole world economy. The leading forces have declared WW III...
World War III utilizes an updated version of the Earth 2015 engine, so it's not big surprise that game-play is very similar to the previous titles based on this engine. The game includes three parties in the game: the USA, Russia and Iraq, full 3D terrain, each allows you to select two campaigns, consisting of 5 missions on average (total 30 missions). The goal of World War III is to win at least one phase of the larger war (each phase consists of 10 harrowing missions where each mission is independent of the next), but unlike to other RTS games, you  cannot carry over units and resources from one completed mission to the next. This design element frees you to focus on immediate, tactical battlefield challenges. The game features day and night cycles and various weather conditions, vehicles and weapons up to date (the Abrams M1A2, the Humvee, the F22, T80, Scud, etc), units gain battle experience during the fight, kamikaze units, technology tree (allows research of new weapons), tunnel systems (underground trench system). In addition you are able to to modify the 3D terrain (Flatten the terrain, create bulwarks or dig ditches),  build bridges, defense systems (missile defense, decoys and anti-chemical filters) etc. Although the graphic are breath taking, I cannot say this game is what I expected to play. I would like to play something more close to Warzone 2010 :) Also technology tree is too small for me. However if you liked Earth 2150 and The Moon Project, this game should to be enough attractive for you, it's well done RTS game. Download playable demo (130MB).
