War Front: Turning Point

"When it works, the best parts of the game compare favorably with Command & Conquer. You crank out units en masse, throw 'em at the other guy, and replace the dead as quickly as they disintegrate, thanks to infinite production queues. Scenario triggers dot the battlefield, offering you secondary and bonus objectives while changing the main mission goal multiple times during a battle. Cinematic scenes are cheesy, exciting, and perfectly convey the game's belligerent Hollywood action-movie appeal. The musical score further perpetuates this, backing up the cacophony of battle carnage while all the characters engage in inspired summer-blockbuster-movie banter. But War Front doesn't always work."

"Conventional conclusion? Begin with qualified recommendation. 'From what I've seen of Command & Conquer 3, WF matches it in most important respects.' then reiterate the 'The novelty is fun, but it's really only skin deep' message."

"War Front: Turning Point is a decidedly different take on the WWII real-time strategy game, complete with jetpack Nazis and freeze rays."

"War Front: Turning Point is a good RTS game. There are some clever mechanics at work in some cases but the campaign missions and overall unit design weren't particularly impressive. While the game is fun, I've still found myself wanting to play other titles that are out and about right now that offer a bit more. Even so, fans of traditional RTS games will have a great time playing through a very traditional campaign while having a bit of a chance to challenge friends to the more creative portions of multiplayer. War Front isn't without faults, but is still a solid enough title."
