Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Like other real-time strategy war games, A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Extended Power requires you to research technology, amass resources, build fighting units, and attack opponents while defending your home turf. But A.R.S.E.N.A.L.'s intelligent scoring system, multiplayer team play, and variable character personalities create an entertaining and replayable experience.Players begin by selecting their character's name, face, flag, and nationality. Different flags provide access to different special units, including an atomic bomber. By commercial standards, the graphics are only serviceable, though a new Deep View, near-3D mode in the latest version improves them. The essentials are there, with large maps and clearly distinguishable units and buildings. The game features some witty audio effects, and the computer makes a tough opponent.
However, A.R.S.E.N.A.L.'s interface for selecting units can be confusing, and the lack of instructions makes learning the hot keys difficult. We encountered graphical glitches. And the demo's 20-minute-per-level time limit isn't enough to finish even the shortest battles. Nevertheless, the wicked AI and humorous touches make this an enjoyable download for players willing to stick it out.

Version: A.R.S.E.N.A.L Extended Power 2.F1
"THE ONLINE GAME IS FULL OF BUGS, THE ADMINISTRATOR IS ARROGANT AND BANS YOU"
Pros: You must buy it each 6 months
Cons: You may lose your chat privilege
You may lose your WHS privilege
You may lose your upload privilege
Your account will be shut down
These are all expressions of the developer. In 20 minutes of DEMO game you cannot see the bugs this game has, you cannot test the editor, bugged, nor the online game. If you don't do the orders of Eric you'll be banned for ever
