One of the most trailblazing arena tours of all time. Based on HG Wells' dark Victorian tale, it remains a firm favourite to millions around the world, exciting audiences of all ages.
A re-recorded version, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds: The New Generation was released with narration from Liam Neeson and new versions of the original songs sung by Gary Barlow, Joss Stone, and Maverick Sabre. Listen / download the tracks from both albums. 29 October 2013 Public Broadcasting Service. The War of the Worlds has been adapted many times over the year, including Jeff Wayne's 1970's rock opera. The most recent version from Audible takes the original suspense and drama of Wells' novel, and updates it with elements from Wayne's electrifying score, as well as a number of new musical pieces. In 2006 Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The World took to the stage for the first time with audiences and critics praising its innovative use of music, technology, live performance and special effects. Today, it remains one of the most trailblazing live shows of all time soon to mark 16 years of extraordinary live touring. What this actually is, is a very faithful adaptation of the original novel. While the album did a fantastic job of containing the major story beats, it was obviously limited by the runtime of a double album, which led to certain plots being condensed. The Musical Drama has no such limitations, with a 5-hour runtime and is able to tell the full.
In 2006 TWOTW was already considered a cutting edge production with six trucks filled to the brim. But in 2021, which marks a momentous 15 years of live touring, the production be up to 12 trucks, and with it, a host of ingredients and special effects that will challenge and excite the senses. A stellar cast will also be announced in the next few weeks.

• Liam Neeson in 3D holography as George Herbert, The Journalist
• The iconic 3-tonne, 35-foot tall Martian Fighting Machine firing real flame Heat Rays at the audience.

• Leaf drops over the audience.
• Mixed live in Surround Sound
UPDATED FOR 2021:
• The giant arched bridge now running from the lip of the stage out over the audience to the front of house desk.
• Three panoramic screens with 2 hours of cutting edge CGI and other content
• The incineration of a cast member in full view of the audience.
NEW FOR 2021:
• Lighting, pyrotechnics… and other-worldly special effects.

Description of Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds
Read Full ReviewThe chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one
War of the Worlds has quite a history in the various media. It's been the original book, a radio broadcast which scared the hell out of America, a film, a musical, a recent TV series that is best ignored and now a PC game. For those of you who don't know, the story is simple enough; in the late nineteenth century Martians decide they can't survive on Mars anymore, so they decide to invade Earth. They choose Britain as their primary target, because of its economic and military significance. The game is actually based on the Jeff Wayne musical, rather than solely on the HG Wells book. This has some bonuses, most notably in the quality of the music. Once Wayne's soundtrack blasts out in the opening video, you're in familiar territory.
You can choose one of two campaigns, the human or the Martian. The objective of each is to destroy your enemy's main base. The game is split into two modes. The war map, from which you can view resource levels, troop movements and factory output, is a rather nice map of Britain. The battle map has beautifully rendered landscapes upon which you can build factories, defences, facilities etc and attempt to shoot the hell out of the enemy. Changing between the two levels is a bit slow for my liking, although I don't have the fastest CD-ROM drive around, which may be the reason. Since you have to change modes to build stuff, that slowness can get a bit irritating.
Holding the line
Whichever side you're playing, the Martians take Scotland very quickly and the game then becomes focused on a frontline around Northumberland. It gets to the stage where both sides have fortified sectors on the border and are performing hit and run attacks on the other side's bases. The key being that when a main base is destroyed the sector automatically loses all its defences and facilities, as well as the ability to attack from that sector. A problem with this is that the border usually consists of three sectors, not really leaving much option for where attacks are likely to come from. This partly comes from the number of sectors on the map, but also I think from the choice of only using Britain as a setting. A world or European map might have offered more possibilities. Anyway, once this border is set up the fight is for who can make the most powerful machines or destruction and get them into combat fastest.
Resource management is the key, as always, to the game. Each side has three resources; there's Steel, Oil and Coal for humans, whereas the Martians require Copper, Heavy Elements and Human blood. Your machines build facilities to mine these resources in territories you control. You can only build in, and attack from, a sector where you have a communications base. Which makes these facilities a high priority, though luckily you get a few to start with.

One thing I was originally concerned about was whether the game would be imbalanced in favour of the Martians. Luckily this is not the case, and the game is actually very well balanced, while still giving the impression that the Martian vehicles are much more powerful than the humans. This works mainly because the Martian vehicles take longer to build and so are less numerous than the human ones. A Martian heat ray can fry a lorry in a shot or two, but when a Martian unit has twenty lorries to deal with, then some damage is bound to be done.
The AI is for the most part good. I often found the computer exploiting my weak points or attacking one sector. If I moved troops there, it would react and attack another sector instead. Unfortunately the AI didn't seem to make it to the pathfinding of the individual units, who occasionally wander blindly across the landscape into their own base's defences, like the wire walls, and blow themselves up!
All's Wells?
There are two main problems with War of the Worlds. The first is that the game occasionally crashes when entering the battle map (and is slow changing modes when it does work). The second is that when you have a great number of vehicles on screen the game slows down quite a bit, even in low-res modes. This can make major offensives against well-defended areas far too slow. There is also only one difficulty level, so if you find the game too hard or too easy there's little you can do about it. Once you've completed the two campaigns there's not much incentive to try it again.
Overall War of the Worlds is a good game. It has a nice combination of strategic and tactical play. It's enjoyable, but is let down by the game speed in mass combats and the lack of replay value. It's worth checking out if you're looking for a game which is a bit different or if you're a fan of HG Wells or the Jeff Wayne musical.

hey guys, so i got the game to download and all but can someone help me to get the music to work? i downloaded the fix but still cannot figure it out.
thanks
Pok2021-08-080 point
It worked for me on Win10 using this method:
1. Download both the RIP and ISO.
2. Mount the ISO file (I used daemon tools lite)
3. Copy files from both CD's to seperate folder, eg. CD1 and CD2.
4. Zip the folders seperately, then mount the zipped folder to Daemon tools (the CD-drive was set to drive D, but I dont know if this matter). CD1 for Humans and CD2 for martians.
5. Then start the game through the RIP folder, Wow.exe. I didnt change any settings in Compatibility to make it work.
Atlas228r02021-07-011 point
I solved my issue of Setup.exe not starting and when I tried autorun it gave me some error about not able to read Text.ojd
1. mount ISO that you downloaded
2.copy content to harddrive I selected my seccondary (E:dwlgameswotw) for example
3. from the folder you copied the contents of ISO run the Setup.exe
4. Go to task manager (ctr+alt+del)
5. Check and make sure if 32 bit setup is running in the task manager
6. navigate to the details tab and find setup manager
7. right click on setup manager and go down to 'analyze wait chain'
8. if you see something on the list that isn't setup manager turn it off and VOILA!!! PRESTO!!! the installer should start right up
if 32 bit setup.exe doesn't appear in your task manager I'm so sorry can't help you :(

I have downloaded the game but not yet installed it. All who do so seem to have problems, some of which may be solved or ameliorated with the additional (and attractive) WOTW Companion, crafted by a talented artist whose 'alter ego is yereverluvinunclebert. You'll find me around the web. Where you find steampunk design, I won't be far away.'

Since I spent hours trying to get the game working..
Ignore the RIP version.
1) Download ISO version
2) Install Daemon tools Lite (I tried WinCDEmu but the CD audio never worked)
3) Install the game from the mounted CD (make sure Daemon tools is using a single drive letter as the game gets confused between multiple drives if you installed on one and use a different one next time)
4) Check it runs, it should be fine (might need to set it to Win98 compat mode, and don't try a resolution too high - 640x480 is actually good since you don't get resolution changes when switching in-game menus)
5) Install the Audio Music fix to get Jeff Wayne's epic soundtrack to work
6) ??? Kill all humans/save the world???
7) Profit

Hi, I am using the RIP, also having the CD mounted. However, I get constant request for the CD (which can be ignored at times, so I can get into the game).
HOWEVER: I cannot get into the Martian part, clicking on Martian.exe also starts the Humans .. any Ideas?
emile442021-03-03-1 point
Is there anybody out here that managed to get this classic to work properly on Windows 10
without it constantly crashing I managed to Mount the Iso using PortableWinCDEmu-4.0
But the game is incredibly unstable and will always crash within about 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay I know even when it was running on very good hardware like Pentium 2 win98 system. still it wasn't very stable but at least it would only crash when you had too much on the screen.
I really hope somebody fix this classic because I so want to play it again it was really good rts back in the day :)
mich2020-11-210 point
As of 21/11/2020(eu date) neither the rip or the isos are working. It continuosly ask for the cd even tough the emulated cd is inserted
Jack2020-11-022 points
Hi guys so I've figured it out. What I did was download the iso file and the rip. Using winCDEmu I mount the game I want to play (human or martian) then go and run it from the rip file.

hi how do I play as the Martian as the save file seems courpted
Paul2020-03-183 points
I have been playing this game off and on, since it came out in 1998. I bought it for full price, and have never regretted it. I have always loved the musical by Jeff Wayne, so when I saw this in the store, I had to have it. I only played the Martian side once, because it just felt WRONG to play as them against us. I always try to get tanks and long range howitzers as fast as possible. Great game, and great music.
