Total Air War for Windows

Pros: Innovative online game that mixes strategy and action
Cons: This game is a must have.

Allegiance has been in development for so long that you would think the whole project had been buried. Although looking at the large scale of genres this game covers, one can easily guess why it took them such a long time to release. Microsoft's latest...

Pros: Realism, Stability, Graphics, Sound & Voice, Real-World Scenarios, Educational, Installation
Cons: Sadam could get his hands on this and learn something.

Whether you did or didn't get into a war this is about as close as you're going to get for the next couple of years without risking your life.

Have you ever been in the position of second guessing the strategic decisions of our military? Are...

Pros: A wild multiplayer ride, easy to get into, tons of fun
Cons: Not out till April 1, crashing servers in beta, no single player mode, hard crash on connection loss

Update 4/2/2000 - you know, I've updated this stupid thing so much, I should just start a new review. At any rate, the game is out and the servers are much better. The one negative that will keep it from 5 stars is the infamous "Cap rush",...

Pros: Great team game, new features for the genre
Cons: Bases are weak structures usually a singal bomber can take out a base without a problem

I participated in the open beta test for this game. I found it to be enjoyable, extra so since I could play on the same team as some of the other guys on my floor.
The reason I liked the game was the unlimited playability. This is not one...

Pros: Free gameplay, good mix of gameplay styles
Cons: Premium play, lag

Allegiance is a new game form a subsidiary of Microsoft, who published the game. If you could put any MS-biases aside for a moment, you'll find this to be a fantastic game. This game was meant for people with internet access, meaning THERE IS NO SINGLE...

Pros: Excellent Graphics and Sound, Amazing Game Play, Huge Technology Tree, Three Factions, Combination Space Fighter and Strategy
Cons: Need Fast Modem

Allegiance is finally here. This long awaited game has been talked about for a long time. The release of a Beta testing version only satiated the flames for a little while. As it just increased the tension in those awaiting the full retail release. I...

Pros: Diverse gameplay, incredible graphics/sound effects, nice people
Cons: To get the full effect, there's a monthly fee. But who cares when the game is this good?

I remember hearing about Allegiance a while back when it was in beta testing. Though it sounded interesting, something just didn't quite grab me about it. It's claim to fame was the internet-only play and it's brilliant netcode. I decided to just wait on...

Pros: Graphics, Sound and Real Strategy
Cons: Not for the lightweights

A development of EF2000 (in US also sold as Super EF2000), TAW is a vastly improved version written by a company that builds training flight simulation for the UK Royal Air Force. This software is truly "as real as it gets" (a Microsoft...

Pros: Some of the best online team-based gameplay out there
Cons: Aside from technical bugs, online halfwits are your biggest threats in this game

Clones, more-of-the-same, the lack of innovation; these are all, sadly, a part of game design these days. If there is one positive thing to be said about the glut of derivative titles, it's that the well-done, innovative ones stand out even more....

Pros: Very realistic as well as fun and exciting!
Cons: not the best graphics, starting to age.

Total Air War is one of the best Air Combat simulation games. You fly an F-22 Raptor in different missions. Whether your mission is to attack, or defend, you can customize the weapons you choose to bring along on the mission.

Not only does...

Pros: graphics!
Cons: nothing really

I chose this game after sampling the demo on zone.com, MS's gaming service. I was blow away by the stunning graphics and how well they ran on my computer (Celeron 366Mhz with a GeForce DDR and 128MB of RAM), and how well it ran over my unstable 56k...

Pros: Multiple Fighters, Capital Ships, Customizable ship loadouts
Cons: No single-player, Microsoft production :)

Perhaps one of the most awaited software packages released from Microsoft, Allegiance pits you against not the AI of a computer, but against the world..against the most dangerous foe, another human being. While computer AI's can be hard to beat, it is...

Pros: Great graphics
Cons: to much trouble to begin

The concept was enough to make me want to buy this game. After installing and trying it out I changed my mind. The graphics are great and all, but each time I restarted it required me to re-enter my joystick settings over again. Not to mention it...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Frequent Lock-ups

Yes! This game is absolutely a contender for game of the year. Maybe even the best game ever?!?!? Thusfar aside from its frequent lock-ups this game is amazing. A tremendous idea 5 years in the making has finally hit the shelves.
Microsoft research...

Pros: Great idea with team ups
Cons: Single player mode needs improvements

I've played this game for the past week and after mastering the controls this is an absolutely amazing game. The aspect of having to team up with other game players adds a whole new dimension to the overflooded space simulation games out on the market...
