Real war is real-time strategy game based around the theme of real war between the US and the ILA terrorist faction. It contains buildings, vehicles of all terrain and soldier that you can command in to action against your opponent. First off, this game is a typical RTS including modern weaponry - 60 different unit types. You can choose the single-player campaign of 24 single player missions (each with specific objectives), 12 for the US side and 12 for the Independent Liberation Army (ILA), or skirmish game. Similarly to other RTS games, you simple start start with a headquarters and then build land, air, and sea command centers to unlock the basic units. Don't expect any technology tree here, you can only do rare upgrades and unlock a few new units. To produce units, you'll need energy from power generators and supply depots, but don't expect any kind of micromanagement. The game itself is a commercial version of Joint Force Employment, a game developed for the US military by Semi Logic Entertainments. But it's not the same game (indeed, I don't believe the original War sim for US Army has so _poor_ AI etc..) - Rival Interactive recreated original game as Real War for the general public. Yeah, the title of this game sounds good but this game is pretty far away from any "REAL WAR". The game looks more like a game for kids and not for regular RTS players :) So what's wrong with Real War? First, there is no realism to this game. For example, several your FA-18 can hardly destroy one enemy warship, tank or even a single enemy soldier. :( Also AI in this game is horrible, you units prefer to acts like insect under drugs, I mean they needs permanent babysitting. Also game's design isn't not much, seems to be poorly conceived and implemented. So, compared to others games (Earth 2150, Warzone 2010 etc), Real War plays very poor. If you like good RTS games, this game will probably piss you off. Download playable demo (59MB).
