Summary

War on Terror is a Real-Time Strategy game which lets the player command three different factions (World Forces, China, The Order) in a near-future anti-terrorist war. Tactics are the key to progressing through the game; to manage in-game reinforcements, and make units gain experience.

Players engage in 26 missions, across three challenging campaigns. Missions take place in cities, in the jungle, in snowy wastelands and in the desert. Over 60 different units are available for the player to command, all wonderfully detailed. Units are able to gain experience; and they have over 70 skills at their disposal. Skills are grouped as special attack, special defence, detection, stealth, repair or heal. Through these, units are given a degree of individualism and become valued components of a cohesive fighting machine; not cannon fodder. Reinforcements can be called into the war zone, to bolster forces, giving the player that extra push to achieve the objectives.

Cutting edge 3D technology provides the game with natural looking landscapes and water, beautiful dynamic lighting and shadow effects, deferred shading, detailed damage models, realistic unit animations and movement, and breathtaking special effects such as normal mapping and glow. Weather effects interact with the game play (lower sight in fog), and also real line of sight (larger obstacles will count in visibility). A secondary render window allows picture in picture technology. The overall effect is stunning and must be seen to be believed.
