WW2 Axis Powers?

Post by Aoi Sakuraba »

why is it that they won't make a WW2 game that lets you play as the Axis powers? If there are any I haven't seen them....

I mean the Axis won plenty of battles to make a game out of. I mean just because they lost the war doesn't mean it wouldn't make a good game. And Besides war games are getting stale as it is, they need something new.

It definitely would make a good game. It would also be interesting if you could play out all countries involved in WW2 not just allies or axis. Even possibly have different endings that could've possibly happened. It would give everyone a greater understanding into each countries history in that war as well.

Consider it this way; you can already play as any side on multiplayer, which is the best part of most games.

Most WW2 games are edited in Germany as to NOT include nazis. Yet call the nazis some stereotypical evil name.

Plus - who wants to play as inhuman thugs when it is so close to the truth?

Inhuman thugs? I'm so disappointed in you Tom.....you realize that Germany wasn't the only Axis power right?

Also that there is no true "good or bad" side.

Multiplayer doesn't give you the history or story of a countries background, it's just a fun thing to vs others with.

I've never seen a game where you play as a commie. =[

but C&C isnt real life history.

I want a WW2 game that lets you experience the war from the Axis point of view
