This game really sets the bar for next generation real time strategy games. Really worth the money.
The graphics are superb for this kind of game, with the physics engine in the game working around the clock to produce real world calibre explosions, men flying tanks blowing up, buildings falling down, what ever the case it does it.
The gameplay really takes alot from warhammer (obviously since relic also made 40k) but then runs on its own 2 feet. Troops are smarter and will take cover on there own but they wont fight your battles for you, the enemy AI is also incredible, making the ability to make multiple desicions like a normal person would, they will find your weaknesses and impose on them i.e. if you have a group of soldiers in cover, the enemy AI will try and outflank you and cut you off. It is really amazing what relic has done with the latest technology.
This game is a must have for any strategy enthusiast and is highly recommended by major reviewing sites and magazines, and by myself ofcoarse. Wether you absolutely love RTS games, or its your first time, Company of Heroes is your game, It really does set the bar for future games of this genre.
