"GI Combat may well prove to be the next generation of and heir to the legacy of the groundbreaking Close Combat series."
2002-08-23 - Gamer's Temple
"Playing the game's one scenario demo was enough to really whet our appetite for the finished product. If this early build of the game is any indication, GI Combat will be the best war game to come along in quite some time, and will be a leading candidate for the best war game of the year."
2002-07-12 - Media and Games Online Network
"GI Combat will offer a redefinition of RTS for the military style game, and will be a definite challenger to Big Time Software’s recent release Combat Mission. The attention to detail is nothing but staggering, and no doubt will have war gamers everywhere eager for this one to hit the shelves."

"You get the feeling that Freedom Games is attempting to walk a fine line between serious strategy and all-out action, providing an experience that will please both grognards and casual players alike."

"If you really like RTSs I highly suggest you check out G.I. Combat once it hits stores. Its a great game filled with a lot action. Be sure not to miss out."
2002-07-01 - Wargamer
"What little I saw of G.I. Combat, however, did leave me with the impression that it has a potentially solid foundation from which to build, as well as some promising new innovations of its own. Whether it lives up to the standards of either of those titles or even to its own innovative potential remains to be seen; and it has a lot ground to cover before the game I played is developed into a finished product. Still, I found enough intriguing teasers in G.I. Combat to let readers know that it appears to have some pleasant features in store for gamers who enjoy World War II era small unit wargames, and may have the right stuff for those wargamers who enjoy Real Time Tactical games."
2002-06-26 - Adrenaline Vault
"...it was clear that G.I. Combat featured everything that made the Close Combat series so successful and then some. The attention to detail is absolutely staggering. Wargamers will find a ton to love when this one hits the shelves sometime this fall."

"To sum it up, when this game is released later this summer, I will add it to my collection. I think a lot of people will. I also think it will remain on my computer for a long time, which is something that only happens once in a great while. "
2002-06-17 - Total Video Games
"One thing that is undeniable is the amount of detail in both the way the game works and its looks which marks GI Combat down as a very accomplished title where even the sound is very impressive."
2002-06-14 - Entertainment Depot
"The retail version could very well be the addiction of many gamers this summer as Freedom Games seems to be on the right track."
