When two tribes go to war,it’s not a point you’ll be scoring, but the rightto control all the SL18, a radioactive alloy found on Primus that is used tomake weapons. Choose initially to play either the Imperial Order, who ruleover 900 planets and get their income from selling SL18, or the Warmonkeys,who inhabit Primus and will guard the manna-from-heaven with their life.
In short it’s another Command and Conquer-type game. Guide your little troopsand tanks across the landscape over twenty levels by yourself (or play online),have some fights, win or lose. The graphics are sparse, the sound nothing towrite home about. As for game play, Dogs of War plays so slowly, it fails togain your interest despite being easy to manoeuvre.
Overall
The only bonus is that the game contains a voice over from Red Dwarf actorCraig Charles, although when I played his voice didn’t appear half as oftenas I expected.
This is definitely one for the C&C-aholics only.
