"Not Great but Not Bad"
I was hoping to use the Navy in the skirmishes but you can only use them in the missions or if you download the mod from Atari.

"This game would be great.... If it worked"
I've tried everything from patches to updating all the drivers on my comp. My Dell isn't even a year old and this game keeps erroring up upon loading. This is the only game that has done this and now it looks like I wasted my money on this poor attempt of a game. It says that my video card software is not suppoted and it looks like there are only a couple that this game does support. Next time this company makes a game I suggest that they make one that supports all or at least most video cards so hard working people like me can actually play them. Don't waste your money like I did, this game may not work with your computer.

"fairly satisfied"
The expansion for act of war is a pretty good game however even though it says it features naval units it only has them in the campaign. Aside from that it features some interesting new units. Task force talon no longer has to leave their base to fight with some of their units such as the spinner titan missle launcher. The u.s. has more powerful (but sort of overpowered) infantry that can take on some of the consortium's weakest tanks.Along with several new units and upgrades based on special abilities. The consortium are still about the same. The game now has better artillery than it originally had. If you were going to buy it for the naval units then don't. It is still a very good game and is worth the money.

"No witty title available"
Every once and a while there's a game that sorta comes in outta of the blue and under the radar, the Act of War games are an example of such games. I played the downloadable version from direct2drive since I don't feel like paying both for the original and the expansion. The graphics are wonderful, even at medium settings. The closest game that compares would be C&C: Generals although the planes tend to go through the geography instead of above it but it still ooks good. The base building is just as labor intensive as the earlier C&C games. Resource gathering is interesting, basically it's the traditional resource gathering combined with "capturing" downed enemy soldiers. The story is typical of every military fiction out there, considering it was written by the same guy who did the original. It's the typical "bad guy steals weapon of mass destruction and plots against American people" plot, the type where Harrison Ford will likely play the lead. Naval Combat is FUN!! Amphibious landings, naval bombardments and torpedoes all add a new level of gameplay that is lacking in C&C: Generals. You spend more time trying to kill the other guy in this game than you do managing your base, well sort of anyway. You spend more time micr0managing battles than you do your base, so your focus better be solely on the game and not have another thing like the television competing for atttention. This game is not necessarily for turtlers. It's hard to fortify your base and tech progression goes quickly as does resource gathering. So if you like fast paced games or a big fan of C&C: Red Alert. Then get this game.
