shocked is all I can say. After tearing at the wrapping like a rabid wolf and watching every pixel trickle over during the installation process i was shocked to find upon starting the game it chuuged along at a snails pace and by the time i finally picked my creature it crashed. hehe... nah its all good little bugs are common so i download the patch still my troubles continue and after spending an hour goin through trouble shooting and changing my graphical settings i am finally able to play this masterpiece of modern enertainment.
sadly it turns out that this masterpiece is not the inspired picasso-esque game it was touted to be. No its more like a messy splatter that you would see at a local market, albeit a very pretty splatter (only if you have the correct graphics card)
The Story is boring with little substance which is ironic in a game so driven by its narritive oh but its so engrossing adding little pieces here and there to your city they say yeah well this is a god sim last time i checked simcity did the same thing alot better and with lower system reqs.
rts of the ages i hear the annoying voice of another lionhead fanboy say but when has an rts with three units ever seen crital acclaim? i cant remember one can you? geez i no peter has done soo much in the past for this industry he is without question an icon but maybe for his next game he should keep his mouth shut and actually make a game that is successful because its good not because its got more hype than your standard hollywood piece of trash big star action film this game really was supposed to be something special but even after returning the game the next day i still can feel the bitter disappointment of not getting what i was told i was getting
