This 1997 Westwood game had good intentions. If you have an amazing strategy game, you HAVE to make it online. But there were many flaws� The main issue is that you don�t control a big army with resources, but a single unit. You select this unit before the game starts, and they include: recon bikes, artillery, infantry, tanks and dinosaurs. To add some diversity to the game, Westwood included three game modes: Free-for-all, Capture the flag and Football. In Free-for-all, basically you have to kill anything that moves because it�s everyone against everyone. In Capture the flag, there�s a bit more strategy involved. You have to obtain the enemy�s flag first, accessing their base and therefore carefully destroying their home units. Finally, there�s Football. It�s pretty much like capture the flag but it uses undefended goals instead of bases making it a quicker mode. For some, Sole Survivor didn�t have much to do with the original concept of the game. This sort of deathmatch-style (supported for up to 50 players in a match) has little strategy, letting down many followers. It�s not a bad game, you just have to know what you are buying, a quick simple multiplayer game. Sole Survivor hasn�t got a monthly charge and the server and usability from Westwood are very good.
