Ruse is an ok game i was really looking forward to it cause its a strategy game but when i first played it i didn't like it cause of the controls and really annoying AI in it i just cant get the hang of it so i say this game isn't for everyone tht like strategy but for some its good but for me not...

Great fun single player game but once again a mistake by ubi soft claiming coop. so just to warn anyone which buys for a fun with friends offline aint possible but on the flip side great fun for single player nd online is just as fun

Back in the day when someone mentioned the word space and computers, one would grasp their copy of Elite close, hoping secretly that one day they'd look down on earth from their battle cruiser.

R.U.S.E. is the kind of game a real-time strategist might enjoy and be bored of at the same time. It's a game that relies on strategy and thinking ahead, rather than fast reflexes and actions-per-minute, but it manages to create problems for itself, at least on the consoles, due to the limitations...

Easy camera system; wide variety of ruses to use; good amount of strategic depth beyond throwing units at each other

Dull single player campaign; problems differentiating units from terrain; lack of granularity in unit selection; problems with controls

If you pull the camera all the way back in the World War II strategy game R.U.S.E.: The Art Of Deception , the scenery fades into miniature, revealing that the entire battlefield sits on an old-fashioned war-room planning table. It's a cute nod to the fact that R.U.S.E.

There are strategy games that push the envelope more than R.U.S.E. does, there's no denying that, but Ubisoft's latest offering is still an enjoyable game. We think ultimately there's going to be less 'subterfuge' and out-manoeuvring then the developers hope for, given this titles pre-disposition...

As you take control of General Arrogant American throughout the course of the campaign in R.U.S.E., you'll struggle to come up with any real reason why this guy is any better than the bad guy, General Generic Evil Nazi.

Feels different than other recent RTS fare; Engaging co-op and multiplayer; Simple control set-up that still leaves room for plenty of strategy

Campaign is a bit of a bore; Visually impressive and detailed; but it lacks any real identity

One of the more surprising titles released this month, R.U.S.E. may appear at first to be a pretty average war title. Looks can be deceiving though, which is something R.U.S.E. knows a lot about.

Excellent, coherent control system; Ruse concept works well, and elevates the title beyond mere RTS scrapping.

Useless campaign mode; Texture details sorely lacking on Xbox 360 version

R.U.S.E. is a fun and fascinating real-time strategy game, as long as you know which parts of it to invest in and which to skip entirely. It prospers in the competitive arena, putting an intriguing use of bluffs and reconnaissance to good use on expansive maps that will test your ability to control...

Ruses provide a nifty and original strategic element; Slick tabletop interface makes it easy to stay organized; Recon; ambushes; and other elements make for lots of flexibility; Online and skirmish matches are really fun

Bland story characterized by poor cutscenes and inferior voice acting; Campaign is boring and badly paced

The game performs with very little slowdown. Zooming in and out of the board is as smooth as silk and, even with a large number of units on screen, the game handles the chaos that can ensue, though it has been toned down compared to the PC version.

Ruses add a new layer of strategy; The game map is easy to use for all player types; A lot of fun online

Feels a bit too simple at times; The campaign is terrible; Lack of interesting units
