It's Command & Conquer meets 24
Act of War is a great addition to any PC gamer's library, especially if you like RTS games. It's very similar to C&C in terms of style -- modern weapons, tanks and infantry, terrorists and super weapons -- but it's got a great story and everything feels very realistic (that's how I feel about 24).
The graphics are incredibly detailed. Better than anything I've seen in a game before, especially the battles in the cities where your guys are hiding behind cars, trees, and buildings. You have missions that put you on the streets of San Francisco, and some that have you in Washington D.C. defending the White House. (I know because the game's like a DVD, complete with a DVD menu showing the 30+ chapters so you can jump to any place in the game. Don't have to worry about getting stuck on a mission!) On top of that, they have live actors in the cutscenes instead of just computer-generated stuff -- and most of the acting is even pretty decent. It feels like you're watching a movie.
I haven't finished playing through the whole thing but I'm looking forward to completing it so I can go online and find some 13 year old to kick my butt. Definitely a must-buy!
