"If review scores were awarded for production values alone, Act of War would be off the scale... For a videogame, the plot is well-paced and suitably powerful… The video clips dividing missions are the most expensive-looking we've seen, with crowds, gunfire and real explosions taking us back to the days of Red Alert's faux-realism." PC Gamer
"At the level of individual units, Act of War does many things extremely well... Many units can be modified after being created, thus expanding the potential uses of your forces. Provided you don't get too carried away and create too many units to manage, using what you have effectively to deal with the challenges in highly satisfying." PC Gamer
