This thread is just asking for trouble, as a lot of people wont be neutral and objective when it comes to acessing games.

The only thing i can really say is:

Graphics - Act of aggression is significantly better graphics wise, yes, but even then some people might disagree.

Realism - Subjective, both act of war and act of aggresion are realistic, but its very subjective.

Score - I personaly think its a pointless argument to score and compare two games, you can't even play act of war multiplayer on a propper server.

Bottom line is, comparing AoA and AoW is pointless, act of war is a nostalgia trip for people that played that game back in the day, while act of aggression is a game you can play now and hopefully it will get updated and improved over time.

The two games really should not be compared. In terms of realism Act of war didn't really capture it because infantry became invisible just for going prone and any realistic game would not have units manufactured at the site of combat. Act of aggression (original, non-reboot) is significantly more realistic due to actually modelling unit physics and not having instant unit response times.

Even in terms of gameplay, Act of aggression (original) does not capture the feel of Act of war. This is simply because Act of aggression does not allow infantry to go prone or on rooftops, nor does it allow you to directly control your builders nor does it allow you to easily build resource extractors next to resource drop off points. Most of these issues are fixed in the reboot edition though which actually manages to make act of aggression the spiritual successor it was advertised to be.

If your computer is weak, its generally for the best to go for act of war (though as an RTS, act of war does have some problems, specifically with an AI that always rushes you).

Graphically Act of aggression is better by far since its new and it has much crisper models and textures. Why you would care when you stated your computer is weak is beyond me.

As for scores given, officially act of war has the better score but not by much (it's 3/100 more points higher than act of aggression.

That said unless you are sure Act of Aggerssion will run properly on your computer, you should go for Act of War. However, Act of war does tend to have compatibility issues such as long loading times or crashes. So this be a bit of a lose lose for you.

Every time someone says this.. I laugh inside. You can compare whatever you want..even different genres. Note that every comparison when it comes to games is absolutely subjective.

Yeah and my point is that a comparison doesn't actually help objectively determine the value of a game.

Comparisons, if they are to be of any value needs to be done objectively and with a clear emphasis on what makes each title unique not better. At some point you still need to look at the game and not use some other game as a judge. Sure you can compare many games and even different genres, go ahead and compare Halo to Sim city. Should you really be doing that? I don't think so. Can you? Sure.... I guess?

which game is more realistic ?
The size of units and buildings in act of aggression are more realistic than in act of war. Also those destroyed tanks often block other tanks on the bridge and won't disappear instantly. But the tanks in act of war can overrun soldiers , they cant in aoa.

which game has more units to each country?
act of aggression has more ground units then act of war has but act of war ht has some navy units

which game is the graphics Significantly better?
act of aggression has higher detail and resolution for the units and buildings. But the unit and building model design and color ...etc are very subjective.

what score did give to each of this games?
what is the standard ?
