The graphics for State of War is decent, but doesn't come close to rivaling Westwood's Red Alert II. However, the cloud-cover effect is pretty cool, giving it a sort of atmospheric effect. Don't worry, if you feel that this effect is obstructing your view, you can either reduce the number of clouds or just turn it off completely. Unfortunately, the main menu for the game has that desperate-to-be-high-tech feeling, and of course, the FMVs in the game would have been excellent if not for the lack of quality and sharpness in it. Also, the in-game interface although simple, at least has the benefit of being easily accessible.

First off, the voice of the operator sounds like Granny in the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons. And I thought I saw a putty cat! Then, there's the sound effects and music department. The music and sound effects are decent, but are comparatively lower in standard when compared with Westwood's Red Alert II. In short, nothing spectacular in this department either.
