Soldner: Secret Wars Review

With the emergence of EA's Battlefield series, realistic war simulations have become one of the most widely emulated concepts in the video game market. From Joint Ops to Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, it seems as if every video game publisher has, at the very minimum, taken a crack at the genre. Not wanting to miss any of the action, Encore has entered the ring with Soldner: Secret Wars, a highly engaging shooter with it's heart in the right place, but a victim of poor code execution.

In the year 2010, the United States and Russia have abandoned their role as the "world police," due to the instability it caused within the countries to which their troops were deployed. Since some can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble, however, offensive operations are now carried out by Soldner, the German and much cooler sounding word for mercenaries. As one of these Soldner, it is your responsibility to keep the world safe from harm. Armed to the teeth with an explosive arsenal of high tech weapons and a gargantuan list of over seventy available vehicles, you step onto the battlefield ready to unleash a world of pain on your opponents. Does the game deliver everything that it promises? Read on and find out.
