The Command and Conquer series has always been my all time favorite RTS game, since there hasn't been much going on with the C&C world, last year when Act of War: Direct Action came out that became my new favorite RTS. I still revisit it now and again to play on different difficulties or a bit online when I get time. Now that Act of War: High Treason has come out I can continue my RTS playing, while waiting patiently for the new C&C to come out. AOW:DA was wildly popular when it came out and it still does enjoy quite a large fan base but as with any game over time the fans find something else to do, can AOW:HT bring the fans back to the AOW series? Is AOW:HT much of an improvement over the original? Surely a year should bring about improvements in all aspects of the game? Read on to find out my impressions of the game....

Tech Specs,Features or the Basic Info:


Act of War: High Treason (dvd-rom)


On the eve of the presidential election, disaster strikes in a horrific way. Both presidential candidates are attacked as the sitting president is assassinated. Unsure how to react to such an attack, the scared, grieving nation becomes paralyzed as chaos takes over. It is up to you, Major Jason Richter, and your Task Force Talon to disrupt the enemy plot that is tearing apart the country at its seams.


Unravel the plot to destroy the world's only super power that has connections to the Consortium. Wage war throughout North and Central America, from New York and Manhattan to Florida, Cuba and Mexico. This expansion pack also takes the battle to the waters, through realistic modern naval combat featuring more than a dozen new units designed specifically for naval combat.

Notice it says 'Expansion pack', nowhere on my box does it say that, also nowhere does it mention on my box that it requires Act of War: Direct Action either. I've been checking Atari forums, Act of War: High Treason forums and others are saying the same thing. Another odd thing is that (at the time of this review writing) this game isn't even supposed to be on the shelves yet, but there it was at my local Best Buy, on the shelf. Apparently I have a 'stand alone' version of Act of War: High Treason, am I lucky or is this a goof in the printing? Another note is that I have noticed many people encountering problems running AOW:DA and AOW:HT on Windows XP64, I have never had a problem, XP64 is my main OS.
