CG Online's Real War Preview
is up, looking ahead at this upcoming RTS in the works at Rival Interactive. The
article offers impressions of the game, focusing along the way on the
incongruity of the title, as it obviously probably won't require as many actual
body bags as the name suggests. Part of the reasoning for the title is because
Real War is based on a generic tool Rival created for the US military to help
teach strategy, and as they point out, "while it's still definitely a game,
it at least has an unimpeachable military pedigree." They go on to
highlight the most "real" part of the game as being the authentic
military units it uses, while saying that in converting the training tool to a
commercial game a focus has been made on playability and accessibility. They
also describe the most fictional aspect of the game, which is the made up
opponent the US forces face off against, which is justified like this: "The
US military is so technologically advanced and powerful that there really isn't
any one plausible adversary that could match it, so Rival has created the ILA,
an international force dedicated to ridding its half of the world of US
influence." The preview is illustrated by a half-dozen screenshots.
