2.0 out of 5 stars War gets personal but it's WAY TOO SHORT!, April 8, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I have always enjoyed the CoH series and this expansion pack in a sense gives us a little bit more of what they wanted and that's being able to get up close and personal with some of the major battles that has been fought in the game. I like the idea that Relic has moved this game from more of the same to a more tactical RTS. But it's not enough...read on and see what I am talking about.

This game is reminiscent to the recently released Men of War but prettier and contains much less micromanaging.

I do like the idea that you still accumulate resources and use them to upgrade your men based on the amount of kills incurred. Also some of your solders get new abilities based on the upgrades like calling in artillery strikes or healing your solders. Also I like that this game is a bit more fast paced than Men of War where ONE scenario could take a long time to play with sometimes overwhelming odds only problem is, sometimes it feels arcadey.

The controls... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Wait for price drop, April 13, 2009
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Let me start by saying I've been playing CoH since initial release and so far have bought every installment of it on their respective release dates. I'm not going to tell you that ToV doesn't add to the game. It does, and as a matter of fact, I would recommend getting it at some time. However, that time is not now, as so far this product is grossly overpriced.

Let's compare. Opposing Fronts came with: 2 new factions, 3 concentrations for each faction, consequently a huge number of new units. Tales of Valor comes with: I believe 6-7 new units, at least 3 of which you'll probably never use depending on your play style. Also 3 new game modes. I'll leave the campaigns aside for now. So on paper, you can see that OF had much more to offer to the game experience, however, ToV still looks decent. That's until you realize that at this point there is only ONE map for each of the 3 new modes. Not to mention the fact that so far OF owners such as myself cannot play as the... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Giant freaking rip off, April 10, 2009

Do not purchase this "standalone" expansion if you like long single player campaigns or b) like low dollar per hour entertainment

The single player campaigns are literally 3 missions long and take only 1 hour to complete each. So thats roughly $10 per hour of entertainment if you do not play RTS's online. There's an extreme lack of content here and its borderline gouging. The $40 previous add-on actually gave you some value with two fully featured campaigns but theres nothing to recommend here for the single player RTS fan.

I can only recommend purchasing if you are new to the series and like multiplayer RTSs because thats the only value in this purchasing this edition, you get all 4 factions to play online. Otherwise forget it until it the price drops to $10 because thats all this garbage is worth.

It feels more like a mod than a standalone game.
