It's characterized by a very small playing area and by alien-looking and slightly alienating font in the option and information screens. The graphics are nicely drawn, with good shadings, but it's all white, grey and black, and you have to force your eyes to tell the sprites from the background, and the enemies being very fast, the first impact with W.A.R. is of unplayability. Eventually, getting deeper in it, an enjoyable blaster can be found, with a precise collision detection, and a spendable score: when you lose a life, or you finish a section, you can use it to buy useful power-up's or more lives - which improves the game quite a bit. Not bad.
