This actually is a very good strategy game. I agree that an in-depth tutorial would have been extremely helpful. The yellow question marks at the beginning of the levels aren't enough to give you a good feel for the game. After initial frustration, I read Daisy_Mays comments in the forum.

You'll be glad you did and might start enjoying this little gem. Show less

Firstly, I agree that a tutorial was needed on this game. However, you can figure it out with enough trial and error.

I still gave the game 5 stars because it was so darn hard! I honestly don't remember the last time I played a game so challenging. Maybe Professor Fizzwizzle - though this is nothing like that. (I'm not counting those games that are hard because you have click fast, or use an ...Show more

Firstly, I agree that a tutorial was needed on this game. However, you can figure it out with enough trial and error.

I still gave the game 5 stars because it was so darn hard! I honestly don't remember the last time I played a game so challenging. Maybe Professor Fizzwizzle - though this is nothing like that. (I'm not counting those games that are hard because you have click fast, or use an actual magnifying glass find the teeny tiny shred of paper in the jumble) My brain was really working overtime on this game. Love it!

I wasn't keeping track of my playing time, but I'm on level 20 now and it's been at least 20 hours. There were a couple levels that I spent 2 hours on! And me and my kids have a lot of fun playing the player v. player version.

Other posters have written some very thorough and informative reviews explaining the mechanics of the game, so I won't repeat them. But here are some tricks I picked up along the way:
If you forget what a person/truck/ship etc does or is good at, go to your 'store' to remind yourself what their strengths and weaknesses.
A sniper can't shoot you if you're standing in the spot right beside him. Some of the vehicles are like this too. Use click & hold often to gauge the enemy's range of fire.
Save your game often. This is the best "undo" you have if you make a serious mistake. Show less

This game needs a better score. There is no tutorial, so you kind of have to figure it out for yourself. There are lots of levels and different skill levels, but even the basic skill level can be challenging on some levels. There is also a two player mode that is awesome.

Unfortunately, there are several exceedingly negative reviews of this game. How sad the low assessments mostly complained of a confusing game where step by step instructions are not included. Occasionally in life, you don’t receive a written guide – you are required to solve your dilemma through trial and error. For example, Christopher Columbus and his ilk were without specific maps and directions prior to sailing toward the new world. Fortunately, they had both confidence and the tenacity to find the answers that would disclose the unknown and get them to their desired destination.

“Great Little War Game” provides superb graphics and just enough information to get you started. The rest is entirely up to you. Many years ago there was a game called “Myst” where the player finds and discovers clues. Following in the same vein, GLWG provides just enough information to keep you moving along. You are required to figure out how to best position your units for an optimal result and solve the problem. Given, this is not an easy process. Happily, you can undo your troop placement as many times as you wish prior to committing your units to action. Should you get it wrong, try again. If you enjoy a solid mental challenge, GLWG is an undiscovered gem that delivers the goods. Stick with this and many hours of superb game-play await you. Peace. Show less

Like everyone says, takes a while to learn strenghts and weaknesses of each troop. Example, if you can get right next to a sniper and fire he dosen't fire back, loses 75%. Get another troop there and wammo, no more sniper and with zero losses. Thats why I would buy up a War Game 2 immediately. All new screens and my previous knowledge would really be a blast.

I recommend this game!

Although a tutorial would've helped, I found the controls intuitive and soon understood how to judge my own and enemies' movement and firing ranges. I really enjoyed playing the first campaign and the tongue-in-cheek storyline that carries it along. I hope the games successor (GBWG) will be carried here at BFG as well.

I recommend this game!

It really gets you thinking and sharpens your skills. Yes it would have been nice to have tutorial but after a while you get the drift easily. don't miss it if you like pure strategy games! When is the second one coming out????

To those complaining that there is no tutorial, the first several scenarios of the standard campaign are the tutorial. If you jump directly into the skirmishes, The game assumes you know how to play.
