Based on the award winning internationally best selling album by Jeff Wayne and the classic science fiction story by H. G. Wells.

No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. Few even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to us regarded this Earth with envious eyes. And slowly and surely they drew their plans against us.

Based on Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds, which itself is based on H. G. Wells' 1898 novel The War of the Worlds. There are two discs, named Human Disc and Martian Disc.

In 1999, a PlayStation game was released with the same name. It re-uses this 1998 game's graphics and music, but has entirely different gameplay.

With over 60 minutes of Jeff Wayne's original music digitally re-recorded, re-mixed, re-mastered and in Dolby Surround, "The War of the Worlds mysteriously dark and powerful atmosphere is complete.

  • A mixture of strategy and action ranging from cunning deliberation to outright firepower.
  • Totally non-linear game-play means no set number of missions - YOU initiate the conflict.
  • Control of research, development, production and placement of all forces; on land, above and below the ocean, in the air and underground.
  • Govern the superior Martians with their technically advanced Martian machines or the more numerous Human forces.
  • Full 3D texture-mapped animated objects and realistic undulating terrain based on actual geography of Britain.
  • Fully light-sourced environments, with ambient and directional lighting.
  • Featuring the voices of Richard Burton and Nigel Hawthorne.
