Honestly, the first RTS I played was RA....not just me, basically 90% of world population first ever fell in love has to be RA, cause it came out b4 Blizzard even started making orcs!! It inspired Blizzard so much to make games that are today...So big ups to Westwood! On to the game, ever since starcraft came out, I have stop following C&C in general....because of various reasons- balance, feeling, and speed. It was not as fun as starcraft or AOE II, so I stopped for a long while.... Gameplay: At first it feels a lot like Generals, but with the implentment of the new units, it does add a whole new feeling to it. It looks like they've also added some good features from other RTS games such as AOE and and TW. When you get to control airplanes that drop bombs on some useless and defensiveless infantry, the picture is just "Priceless" you dont get that a lot in RTS, especially in Blizzard's RTS games. Graphics: There were some issues involving graphic cards based on which ones you used, but overall it has a nice solid feel to it, though it will take some time to get use to since playing different RTS games can sometimes downgrade what you like and dislike about the graphics in general. But overall, it's still one of the best RTS graphics games out there, the explosions and ummm more explosions :) are just priceless to watch :D Sound: My favorite thing about sound was the sound that different vehichles made very unique life like sounds that it should be. It really felt like they took the time to make good quality sound, not just some quick and last minute make up, it really seemed like it was repolished many times to get to this kind of quality, despite coming out only 8 month after General's release. Big Ups! Value: Mulitiplay, replays, more multiplayer. It brings me great joy the first time I played online in starcraft. Multiplayer always has been the highlight in the RTS series, and still has been, games without online play these days are pretty much done, yeah done as in done like dinner. What makes this game's value unique is that they dont copy other sucessful games such as Starcraft or WCIII online interface, they still have their own unique look to it, which is why I like westwood in the first place. It's cause they know they were the ones who set the standard since beginning, now they're trying to set a new standard so that other companies such as Blizzard can learn more from it just like a decade ago. Big Ups! Review's Tilt: Ahh...the good ol' Review's Tilt. Reason I give a solid 9 is because it's defitely the best in series. The gameplay, sound, & value was just top top notch. Nothing like bombing your friends base with blazing air crafts ^_^; But set aside from that, it also has amazing replay value from mulitplayer. The biggest concern I have has to be graphics, It's really hard to perfect this part since many gamers has many different taste, like I said, if you dont play C&C that much, you probably wont get used to this kind of graphics. Just my little 2 cents, keeping it real. P.s- For those who love this game, I highly recommend you check out www.purepwnage.com it has some funny clips of some pro game pwning n00bs. hahah! Enjoy!
