If you're looking for a classic RTS game, this is the one. It's fun, but it's still hard. I liked it, but i never beat it. It's pretty cheap, so if you think you might like it go ahead and buy it. It's certainly not the best RTS, but its looks are fine and with the expansion, beating it takes a while. But if you're not a serious game please don't buy it, especially if you're not into RTS games. It would be a waste of 10-15$ that could be spent to a better thing, like retirement, college, or whatever. The main determining factor of its funness is whether or not you like RTS games. It's just a bit too old for me to like, but it seriously is fun if you have nothin else.
