What says the press?
IGN preview:
"With release only a few months away, the gang at Ubisoft
have sent us a couple of playable levels from Faces of War, the new World War
2 RTS from 1C and Bestway. Designed as a sequel to 2004's Soldiers: Heroes of
World War II, Faces of War ups the ante in virtually ever single area. Graphics,
mission design, intensity, and multiplayer options have all been expanded well
beyond what we saw in the original game. If the two levels we've played are any
indication, Faces of War will definitely set a high bar for other RTS games released
in 2006."
Eurogamer
preview:
"All in all, it seems that Faces of War is shaping up rather
well. So if it ends up playing as good as it looks, what will the future hold
for the series – is there any chance of a sequel?"
Gamespot
preview:
"If the two battles that we've seen thus far are any indication,
Faces of War could very well be one of the first big surprises of 2006."
