Japan Liberates California!

by jbauguss , Apr 19 '00
Pros: Relive history again and again; expands your mind; becomes a part of your life; quenches your thirst for strategy and competition
Cons: Brings down GPAs; Gets People Fired; Makes Sleep Difficult
A lone naked light bulb casts long shadows in the stuffy, crowded room. Your nose has long grown accustomed to the lingering stench of sweat and smoke, and the whirring of a small fan breaks up the dead silence but does little to fight off the stifling...

Off to War we go

by Supreme1 , Nov 14 '00
Pros: Easy set up
Cons: The AI is a challenge for beginners
Over the years I have accumulated an ungodly number of computer games, some I don’t even know why. I am a big turn-based strategy game fan with Civilization 2 and the Master of Orion series being my favorites. With the lack of any real decent...

Axis and Allies

by apoeze , Apr 27 '01
Pros: Faithful to the original board game, good inherent gameplay.
Cons: Terrible AI, gameplay ruined by problems, bugs.
Background
I have been a heavy strategy gamer and tend to prefer the slow but sure type of game and have no qualms with micromanagement. I have played the original board game, though not as often as I would like.

A game you could afford to miss

by QuickGold , Jun 08 '00
Pros: Good idea, Gets you hooked early on, cinematics are nice
Cons: Multi-player doesnt work like it should, rules need to be more open
When I heard that Axis & Allies would be a computer game, I thanked the gods for answering my calls. For years I had the boardgame(which is unbelievable) but none of my friends liked playing it. Finally, I thought, I could reach salvation.

Just as Fun as the Board Game...and Better

by jscatman , Aug 28 '00
Pros: quick play capabilities, multi-players, various selection of rules
Cons: graphics aren't great
As a former player of Axis & Allies on the board game, I could hardly wait for the pc game to be released. The first tome I found the game I didn't have a computer that could handle the game. But now that I have a computer that can handle the game,...

Killing in the name of:

by elblop , Oct 10 '00
Pros: Superb strategics
Cons: AI is not the brightest
World War 2...

You start this game with the situation in world war 2 as it was in 1942. The Axis have much better equipment, but the Allies have more income, so they can produce more.

I played it with some friends for some time...

Not Realistic, but a Lot of Fun

by Nilo24 , Jun 09 '00
Pros: Easy to play, a lot of fun
Cons: No challenge to play against the computer, Not very realistic, could be improved, some glitches in the CD
I used to play the Axis and Allies board game in high school back in the 1980's and absolutely loved it. Naturally, I was ecstatic when the game was released on CD Rom. The computer version has many advantages over the board game, but there are a few...

Best Board Game Turned Computer Game Yet

by moneysurf , Jun 02 '00
Pros: Great strategy game
Cons: Graphics aren't anything special
Axis & Allies was one of the best board games ever made. But it took hours to play. Not any more. The computer version makes gameplay much easier and faster, and you can save and stop whenever you want.

Gameplay

UPDATED: 11 more bugs! Hasbro should be ashamed

by skintigh , Dec 04 '00
Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Bug bug bugs and no online play
Original title: puts the "riddle" in "bug riddled." Hasbro may have surpassed Sid Meier in the World's Buggiest Games category. I have never encountered so many bugs while playing a non Sid Meier or Microsoft game. The game is ...
