The first RTS that I've really found worth playing. I'm a big fan of WWII games, and I was not let down.
The sound compliments the graphichs, and they work perfectly. The booming sound of enemy artillery is enough to actually make you nervous about losing your men, and some of the soldiers' little conversations can make you laugh. That earned this game a 10 for sound.
The game was $50 for me. Although I normally would not spend that much money on a PC game, it was well worth it. People commented that $50 was much for the game when I told them how much it was, but I let them know that I would gladly pay $75 for this game. However, for a PC game $50 is still a fair amount, so I gave it a 9 for value.
Gameplay is great. Unlike most RTS games, this one is quite easy to use, much like Age of Empires or Warhammer for players who are familiar with these two games. Although the game varies slightly from these, it is still easy enough to tell your soldiers what you want done. However, gameplay can get difficult as your squads branch off into different groups, and you need to keep jumping around the screen to command your soldiers to garrison inside a house. Unfortunately, this dragged gameplay down to an 8 for me.
Still, 9.3 is a great score, and I was more than pleased with the way this game turned out. The next game these boys come out with, I'll buy it without hesitation.
