Even the policy as part of everyday life, not only has a consciously formal side. People do not just go to the elections or organize the revolution. They have almost always sorry about it. And then they laugh at their (and other people at the same time) experiences. Political folklore - the flip side of any system, a free human reaction to rigid frames. However, to fully enjoy them, you live and breathe ridiculed era, remember her: the trick is that a joke a joke doing the real memories of a particular person about the seriousness of past ridicule "truths."

However, the developers of the last (studio Relic), releasing the second addition, we decided to stay, finding it more interesting (read the box!).

GENERAL APPEARANCE Yes, we do not expect from such a Soviet Assault. Neither you of new units or changes in the mechanics, just a few multiplayer maps so sextet missions over the Soviet Union, scattered along the old campaign. However, with gameplay point of view the history of Soviet officers look bad - we will attack and defend, and gets behind the Berlin Wall subversive purposes, and even fighting with American guerrillas. As usual, the rest do not give - always have to run somewhere and someone to save them. That's just a question arises: why did you throw about six straight from the tin targets for the campaign from the base World in Conflict, forcing us to take it again? And in terms of reliability of the mission over the Soviet Union turned faint - too much enthusiasm and traditional western cliches about the "bad Russian" (though, oddly enough, "good Russian" also occur). And soldiers and officers of the Soviet Army passion as they like to interfere with the native language of English. Phrases such as «This is Zvezda. Priyom »initially cause a smile, but soon begin to annoy, like coming across an inscription with errors like" Sdeino in the USSR ". Alas, the game clearly rivet in a hurry, just to earn some money a bit, yet the interest is not extinguished. Whether to continue after such a series of its existence - the big question, especially as the console versions of World in Conflict: Soviet Assault was ordered to live a long time ...
