Surprisingly, the gameplay is actually pretty good for a strategy title that's basically a run of the mill, mainstream affair. Some might say that it's a rip-off of the recent C&C games, and although we wouldn't go that far, it does seem like Act of War is hoping for the same kind of mass success that C&C saw when it was first released in the '90s. Just replace Tiberium with oil (that's right you roll in to the desert, "liberate" the enemy to smithereens, and start reappropriating other people's resources) and many of the differences are simply aesthetic. Think Command & Conquer, and you'll get the gist of how Act of War plays. We truly hope this game is a parody, and not a celebration, of US politics. Yep, they all join forces as one super terrorist organisation, and America must stop them. Overblown American hysteria comes to a head in Act of War: Direct Action, a RTS where the US is under attack by everything from hippies to Arabs, Russians, peace protesters, and those evil, evil "tree-huggers" (direct quote).
