I enjoyed the war of the worlds book and audiobook when i was around 11 or 12, I listened to it so much my mum bought me this PC game from the white goods store she worked in for my birthday. Bombastic and unique soundtrack, i thought amazing graphics and such open and deep gameplay for its time.
Incredible soundtrack, challenging gameplay, definitely have to be strategic and memories of playing this with my dad as a child. One of the most underrated forgotten PS1 titles, simply adore this game.
It was my first game my first real-time strategy in later years I love it so much I actually went on eBay a physical copy but I cannot get into run on my newer Machine full love your money I've tried to numerous patches from the internet they all play for around three four five minutes I would love to bring this epic real-time strategy game back the PC version is much better than the PlayStation version so I would love them to bring back the PC version in all of its glory PS.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
