Description:
Ripped from today’s headlines, Act of War: Direct Action™ is a frightening tale of suspense, international intrigue and geopolitical military conflict. This real-time strategy experience puts you squarely in control of counterterrorist forces and delivers a first look at tomorrow's war.

The world has changed. A crippling energy crisis has forced gas prices past $7 a gallon and sent the American economy into a frightening tailspin. Terrorist factions have taken advantage of this severe instability, striking the nation regularly without warning.

A group of seasoned military veterans and young techies are recruited into a special high-tech task force and begin the worldwide job of tracking down the terrorists and uncovering the international conspiracy before the terrorists can strike in the heart of America itself.
