Men of War: Red Tide is a stunning mixture of RTS and a third-person action that introduces a new fighting force known for its brutal efficiency during the height of World War II. Played out across more than 20 missions, Men of War: Red Tide allows to take command of the feared “Black Coats,” the nickname given to Soviet Marines, an elite combat group specializing in engagements near the shoreline.
The player has direct control of new game units including the Black Coats, tanks, self-propelled guns, armored trains, landing craft, artillery and new enemy emplaced weapons to capture and use. New air support options include fighters, bombers, hydroplanes; cruisers, destroyers and gun boats which provide naval fire support.
Fighting during the Black Sea Campaigns of WWII, history buffs and WWII aficionados will recognize theaters of battle such as Odessa, Sevastopol, Theodosia, Eltingen, Nikolaev and Constanta.

Well...
Lamcia | Nov. 20, 2011 | See all Lamcia's reviews »I was a big fan of the FoW and SOLDIERS, but what they've done with MoW, it's just a very, very bad game, with boring missions, and poor controls. Don't play it, kill it with fire!

Fits in nicely among the men of war series
liquidsnake78 | Nov. 20, 2011 | See all liquidsnake78's reviews »Already having played 2 of the men of war series games, i was skeptical, how good this stand alone expansion would be....
The game takes us back the classic world war 2 era . The units and weapons are a huge improvements , the tanks are awesome :D.As i played the game saw that the graphics and detail are awesome. It very well gets the player in to the world war 2 atmosphere.
Some of the problems with the game are controlling each unit and commanding them at every time gets a lot tough especially if you are under attack and sometimes the game becomes extremely difficult and one sided.I run out of ammunition many times have to be very calculative.
There are 20 single player missions and will take a considerable amount of time to finish them all perfectly . The game sorely misses out on a great chance to have multi-player and co-op ,It kinda becomes a bit too stressful and very hard playing against the ai at any difficulty :( co-op would have helped but the graphics and atmosphere is great , highly recommended , if you are a fan of the men of war series.

Suprisingly Good
unFortunee | Nov. 18, 2011 | See all unFortunee's reviews »Red Tide is my first Men of War series I played and to my surprise it was good. Granted I may have low expectation for starter, but this game is very well made.
As I read other review, I understand this game is more single-player oriented of all MOW series. This is a very risky take for a strategy game yet it win me over.
At first glance at gameplay, I can only think this game is a Company of Heroes clone with weird control system. After few mission I rate this as more micro-oriented COH rival.
I recommend this for any strategy fan. Learning curve required is pretty steep but not as steep as say Sins of a Solar Empire, but after few mission you'll have your fun and cool moments out of this game.

Men of war: Beauty
Swifty | Nov. 6, 2011 | See all Swifty's reviews »Just looking at the trailers of this game doesn't give enough information. Experiencing it first hand gave me such a delight that other RTS games couldn't satisfy. This was also quite a challenging experience which takes much more out of you than other RTS games but it is well worth it! Based of the Red Armies 'Black Coats', you must plan well thought out attacks on the enemy and the stealth missisons were especially enjoyable! Also, this is much more singleplayer focused than MoW but don't think that means it's multiplayer is rubbish because you will be severely let down! Hours of multiplayer and singleplayer fun! Definately reccomend! :)

Red Army's 'Black Coats'
faraany3k | Sept. 2, 2011 | See all faraany3k's reviews »Men of War: Red Tide is a more singleplayer focused expansion pack for MoW. Game introduces a special Soviet faction 'Black Coats' and we exclusively play as them in a long singleplayer campaign. Game has improved alot since the first MoW and Red Tide is the perfect example of how well developed and polished the franchise is. We face off many of the Axis armies in a diverse and engaging scenarios.The AI and interface improvements have all come together wonderfully well. The addition of many support abilities has greatly increased the fun factor of the game.Specially Naval Support abilities are a novel concept, a highlight that shows how 1C is continuously evolving there great franchise.
Men of War: Red Tide is more of a evolution of the franchise. If you are a fan of MoW and its rich and deep gameplay, you will definitely love this newest offering. With its long 20 missions long campaign it is worth every penny. Undoubtedly the best MoW experience yet.
