What players think
The recurring themes across 284 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story falls flat since instead of trying to be cheesy as Red Alert or Generals it tries to be serious so much you can see Tom Clancy blush.
The graphics are alright for their time and are serviceable.
Gameplay wise Act of War has everything you could wish for in a RTS and more.
The sound effects in the game (including voice over quality) were all pretty good.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
