Simply it's a something new...
and what do I think you say, will after dreaming fro the last decade for a revolution and even praying for what I said before "a something new", here it's fully fulfilled, this game rocks in every area...the way you play, think and even struggling to hold on for a win.
the game it self is as eye appealing as it gets except for the video sequences and close up but on the other hand as the RTS view it's awesome and still playable, by saying playable I mean it's not perfectly smooth and if any body was luck see my last review about the Supreme Commander he/she will know what kind of a computer I’m using and it's even pretty much overcloacked. Back to game the learning curve is right on the spot but there are some tricks that wont get hold of it unless you play the tutorials further more the game audio components is great but not perfect.
overall and finally if you think you have what it takes to beat the Germans* with your brain not brutal force this is the thing for, let me say in another words this the blurring line between commandos and red alert so enjoy something new and something fresh.
* With all respect to the German society but about the article were are just referring to the game play mythology.
