Theatre of War 3: Korea

If you are looking for a challenging and realistic strategy game then I recommend TOW 3: Korea. If however your more into simplistic and fast paced RTS then this may not be the game for you. What the developers aimed to bring to the public is a well made realistic strategy game which is able to reflect warfare in the mid 20th century. This game enables players to not only fight in a battlefield conflict but also...

I was very skeptical about this game at first, especially when I saw the review and metascore (yikes). It was a game I kept my eye on simply for the fact that it was based in the Korean War, a war that we havn't seen in a game before (but if there is a game that is based in the Korean War that anyone knows of then please, tell me, I would love to get my hands on it).

Actually i'm sorry to give a negative review to this game. First of all, it's probably the only one set in that specifical conflict (Korean war).

The strategic campaign map is also nice, fast-paced with few things to do to concetrate on combat phase (even if...

I didn't have to learn because is almost exactly the same as in the previous ones, so if you have played them, you know what to expect. The campaign it's with a simple "grand...

The Theatre of War games are fundamentally good games that suffer from one MAJOR (possibly even a four star general) problem. Onboard artillery (the stuff you choose when outfitting your army) is COMPLETELY useless because it can only fire if it has line of sight. Doesn't matter what type of arty, mortars, howitzers, et hoc genus omne-if the unit can't see the target it can't fire at it. So why are they even in the...
