World War II General Commander: Operation Watch on the Rhine – PC Game Review

James Cobb | December 17, 2008  | 7 comments  | Print  | E-mail

The battle editor is a historian’s dream. Not only can pre-made scenarios be modified in all aspects but the map covers the region from Lille to Koblenz and Luxemburg to the Channel. Units of any size, type and caliber can be used to create all sorts of battles.

World War II: General Commander Operation: Watch on the Rhine will be compared to Panther Games’ fine Highway to the Reich and Conquest of the Aegean. However, the newer game’s graphics, scale and versatility set it apart. This game is great and sets a new bar for historical real-time games.

  3. Just so I’m straight:

    1. Purchase Game
    2. Download Game
    3. Install Game
    4. Ask for permission to play the game I just purchased

    No thanks.

  4. This sounds like a great game. However due to the limit of 3 loads
    before it goes in to the garbage can leaves a bitter taste in my wallet.
    I will have to pass on this fine sounding game due fact I won’t own it
    after three installs.

    For me this is a deal buster.

  5. I agree with Honor,ask permission to play a game I payed $39.99 for and I can only ask permission 3 times .Sorry …All that for a game that seems to be a version of PANZER GENERAL on steriods.
    I d rather go to Matrixgames.com there system is more user friendly…i.e download and cd copy sent for a few dollars more.

  6. New patch launched.

    They have removed the DRM.

  7. They have not.

    One look at their official failure tells me this is a gigantic failure. The patch thread has about 80 hits, one is by me lol.

  8. yet again matrix game produce a crap product, why o why do we even bother reading reviews when we know that matrix games are just simple crap engines with new graphics. im fed u with this company, they really do suck, i think they are the worst company at produces games. the next thing they will do is release the sameg game but change the map and a few things and call something else.

    Its the same old formula with these guys, package the product fast and hope visuals or nooby strategy players will buy it.

    Well not me, koz i know your business model and you are weak and pathetic, why dont you guys have the whole of europe map or world map, why do you always give little parts of ww2, hello wake up .. there are so many games like this, just a short part of the war. if you really want to sell this game and maybe get some awards then release a FULL game not just a little peace.
