If this had been guerrilla combat for the resistance, it would have been interesting, maybe downright spectacular(and made sense). The 50 caliber sniper is perhaps a reasonably realistic addition, something like that could *maybe* put a dent in them. Why are they so affected by bullets? Who the hell brings a Desert Eagle to war? I know it's powerful, but it's also really inaccurate. That's part of the logic problem in this. You can run over anything bi-pedal, whether they consist mainly of water or, you know, *metal*. The vehicles(no, really, there's more than one, they're just all nearly the same) handle decently at best, and do not let them near a wall, or it's likely to stick and you'll have to proceed on foot. None of the relatively few animations are particularly attractive or natural, and the physics are lousy, not to mention nearly non-existent(anyone that dies, save for those that explode, simply falls over, like a mannequin). The graphics were dated even when this came out, with FX that won't astonish anyone. Also, their releases coincided with when a lousy movie of the series did. Like Enter the Matrix, this came out in 2003, was rushed(and can't hide it) and was purely made to appeal to the already large fan-base by reminding us of what we already loved about the franchises(trust me, neither will attract anyone new). Where to begin? This is a shining example of how licensed games are usually poor. Other than the fact that this draws a lot of its inspiration from the insipid parody that T3 was, I(and people who share my passion for the first two) *am* the intended audience for this.

I can't get enough of the original 1984 film, and I appreciate the direct follow-up as rather well-done.

This is a review of War of the Machines(which appears to be the version of this released for the PC), an attempt to emulate the Battlefield style.
