Men Of War is the sequel to the successful Soldiers: Heroes of World War II. The game's developers listened to a lot of the feedback from the community to create this game. In fact, they were developing a Japanese campaign, but fans of the series wanted a North Africa campaign, so they had to put Japan on hold to please their audience. The game is a real-time strategy game. You control the actions of the units and vehicles that are available to you (over 50 units). The developers took their time with making the units as close to real as possible, therefore the presentation is very well done. You can play 3 different sides, Allies, Axis and Soviets. You can play the Japanese multi-player only. In single player, you can choose a side and fight through 19 missions in across 3 different campaigns. The game itself is very entertaining and the battles can be nail-biting. Multi-player is also a winner here, with many gamers battling it out online. Men of War is a very fun real-time strategy game that should appeal all audiences.
