World in Conflict presents a chillingly authentic Cold War scenario where the Berlin Wall never fell. Created by Cold War authority and best-selling author Larry Bond, the story begins in 1989 as the Soviets, fearing certain collapse, boldly advance into Europe. NATO responds in force only to be met on a second front -- a full-fledged invasion of the American homeland.

Players take on the role of field commander, leading the era's most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America's cities and suburbs. The RTS gameplay features completely destructible 3D battlefields, aggressive team-based multiplayer action and a focus on fast, hard-hitting battles. For the Xbox 360 version, the game has been customized for the controller and implements a new heads-up-display (HUD) that is more functional for console gamers. This console edition has also been enhanced with additional content -- the entire World in Conflict: Soviet Assault expansion (a campaign that takes the battle to Russia) is included on the disc as well as the original World in Conflict game.
