Description
S.W.I.N.E. is a real-time strategy game in a 3D environment. It looks a bit like
Emperor: Battle for Dune, but that's where the similarity ends. In S.W.I.N.E., you do not command humans or robots but - as the name suggests - animal armys :)
The story goes like this: On the 3rd of August, the Swine National Army invaded CarrotLand, home of the Rabbit nation. The poor Rabbits were defeated within two weeks, only a small pack survived and is now planning the counterstrike.
In the first campaign, you are to command the Rabbit forces in their nearly hopeless battle against the evil Swine. The second - and much harder - campaign lets you lead the mighty army of the Swine.
The game has a neat concept: you cannot build anything on the battlefield - you select your units before you start the mission. You can take special repair units with you which can recover damaged and even dead units on the fly - for a cost, of course.
S.W.I.N.E. is a RTS game alright, but it doesn't take itself too serious. There are over 6000 speech samples for the Swine and Rabbit soldiers who comment on anything they see or do. When you blast something up, it'll explode in a colourful firework - there's no violence involved. 22 missions (11 for each campaign) and 10 additional multi-player maps and three difficulty settings provide long-lasting fun.
