Tides of War Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this game in Canada, and have never seen it sold in the United States. It's an RTS game for the player to command one ship, and sail through an alternate world with nations somewhat similar to the real world. The player completes missions, and is assigned to (usually) larger ships with greater responsibility at the beginning of each mission, while monitoring supplies of ammunition, food, "luxuries" for the crew, and treasures captured. The player must also allocate crews to various duties, such as manning the sails, manning the guns, repairing the ship, and Marines duty.

The player is sent on missions in a very open-ended "world," in which the player can engage in naval battles, raid ports, sink ships, trade, explore, turn Pirate, and have a great time! I could waste HOURS playing this relatively simple game.

The one glaring weakness in this game is that it has set missions for the player to complete, and the player cannot SAVE the game mid-mission. This is really a disappointment, considering how open-ended the game's world is, and how much exploring one could accomplish if not limited by time. This would almost be the only game I played if I could find a way to save my missions and not have to commit to (sometimes) hours for each one.
