Reception

GamesRadar awarded World War One 7 out of 10, highlighting the vast game map of Europe, and the depth of diplomatic, economic and political options. The text-based tutorial was criticised, as was the slow AI and dull, uninformative combat results.{{cite web|url=http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/world-war-one/review/world-war-one/a-2008121914235875032/g-2008121914748666091|title=World War One - Review|date=Dec 19, 2008|author=David Brown|work=PC Zone UK|publisher=Games Radar|quote=If you can get past the inhospitable veneer, you'll be drawn into a massive time sink, with so many outcomes you'll probably never exhaust them.
