Originally conceived as a military training simulation, Arena Wars is a new kind of sport that challenges you to develop tactics and strategy for winning an armed conflict. You can control your own units--each with specific attributes, strengths, and upgrade abilities--and use power-ups to enhance their abilities, protection, or firepower. The multiplayer mode lets up to eight players challenge other players from around the world, while the single-player mode lets you take on missions against one or more computer opponents.
