Although the basic maps lack interest, particle effects such as explosions and artillery shots are virtually stunning. A plethora of colors and lights fill the screen as vehicles are blown to oblivion with streams of quantum waves. Furthermore, the realistic modeling of buildings and units adds to the sensation of real time alien warfare. Sound effects crowd every operation and action in Incoming Forces. You will hear tanks rolling across the desert, aircraft roaring through the skies, and bullet shots from all directions. The musical score is equally as engaging, although the score is not present during actual game play. Nevertheless, the changes in theme and mood presented by the score during cut scenes and menus, range from high-adrenaline rush to somber tear-jerking lifelessness.
