Customer Reviews

A great WWII RTS game
Company of Heroes is a really good game. Set against the Second World War you command troops from a Parachute unit attacking various German installations. Craftly, the games levels are set against real time events that actually happened in the War so you feel as if you are contributing to the victory. It looks the part with units well drawn. Also, the sound is excellent. I like the way you can employ tactics in this game. Its never purely about a War of Attrition. Its very enjoyable too and whilst I'd have liked the game to have lasted longer, its well worth playing.

Brilliant
Found CoH absolutely great from the start and love the online play with all my mates! Recommned for anyone! 10/10! Well done THQ

Best strategy game I've played
I would say this strategy game is in a league of its own compared to all the others I have played. I love the realistic WW2 setting rather than it being some strange futuristic thing that you can't relate to. The battle scenes are very realistic and great graphics. There could be more missions though. I finished it quite quick.
