Axis and Allies Computer Game

Pros: Faithful to the original board game, interesting PC-only rules-and-units options, ease of play.

Cons: AI tends to be very predictable, a few software bugs here and there.

The Bottom Line: Okay. It's old and there are new versions, but if you enjoyed the classic board game, this game's for you....

Review: If you are a frequent Epinions reader and have run into some of my reviews, perhaps you've noticed that one of my interests is military history, with an emphasis on World War II. Many of the books, movies, and even music CDs are World War II...

Pros: Adds 2 new pieces to the board.

Cons: Should have been an update from Hasbro!

Review: First off, I must tell you that this is the same game as the original Axis&Allies by Hasbro except, it allows two extra pieces to be played on the board! One of these pieces is the "marines" and the other is a "destroyer". The Axis&Allies:Iron Blitz...

Pros: Won't have to worry about the pieces getting knocked off the board with the dice.

Cons: Bugs, AI flaws...much programming sadness.

Review: Now with the retinue of of RTS games, it's easy to forget that they had to come from somewhere. Before Starcraft there was Command & Conquer. Before C&C came Warcraft, and before that there were Dune and Panzer Dragoon. Before those were Panzer...

Pros: music, options, gameplay, multiplayer, new units, new maps

Cons: buggy, unchallenging AI,

The Bottom Line: Must-have for strategy gamers, should-try for everyone else. Same game as "Axis & Allies" with some new units, scenarios, options. Same great game at its heart.

Review: Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz captured my heart last year, and I've had plenty of opportunity since that time to give it a thorough "testing." I loved it immediately--I rather suspected I might, as I loved Hasbro's initial "Axis & Allies" PC game [&...

Pros: The actual game is very good and entertaining

Cons: It eats up too much memory when it saves, and doesn't allow you to configure settings for saved games

Review: I bought this game for my husband who is an avid fan of games like "Starcraft", "Star Wars: Rebellion" and "MechWarrior". He loved the board game and thought it would be great if he had the computer game.

I gladly purchased the game for...

Pros: Retains the better aspects of original Axis and Allies, Addition of a few new units and editting tools

Cons: Game is not well supported by patches, many of Axis and Allies original bugs are still present. Minimal upgrade for the price

Review: Being a confirmed Axis and Allies junkie, just ask my wife, with over 300 registered matches in club play, when Hasbro came out with an updated game for Axis and Allies I quickly went to the local store (online of course) and purchased the game. For...

Pros: Excellent adaptation of Axis & Allies to the computer in every respect

Cons: Installation, online play doesn't work real well, minor bugs

The Bottom Line: This game is an excellent adaptation of Axis & Allies for the computer that is everything the first game should have been.

Review: Last year, this same team came out with Axis and Allies for the computer. The game was dreadfully stupid and fatally buggy. Axis and Allies version 1.33 finally got rid of most of the bugs, but although it added some intelligent decision-making...

Pros: Good principle

Cons: Bugs, bugs, and more bugs

Review: How dificult is it to make a turn based game as simple as this? Apparently very difficult. I love to play the board game, but this is not even fun. Don't forget to save your game after every turn, or you may be starting over more than you would...

Pros: Determine World War II in two hours. Realistic Strategy.

Cons: Not Much Eye Candy.

Review: I had played Axis and Allies the board game over a decade ago. Although I enjoyed it, it was a bit tiring with all of the dice counting, etc. As soon as Axis and Allies came out for the PC I was one of the first buyers. I enjoyed the game but it was...

Pros: Has two new pieces to put into the field

Cons: Not much different that the original

Review: When I heard that Hasbro was going to release the Iron Blitz edition of Axis and Allies I could hardly contain myself. As an avid fan of Strategy and War games I have found few that match the original Axis and Allies. Simple yet thought provoking it...
