Reviews
"Overall, GI Combat is a RTS title that will push your knowledge and skills in how strategic you are when faced with a real time battle scenario … and there are lots of them to go through." GameZone
"On the positive side, the graphics and sounds, and overall presentation is absolutely fabulous. I really got a feeling of the overall visceral action of trying to execute mission parameters in a chaotic situation. Your troops and the enemy scream in pain when blown to bits by mortar shells, and downed troops slump over their rifles. Not a pretty sight, but I'm sure, fairly accurate in what the designers wanted to portray." The Armchair Empire
