Review for one of the best Xbox RTS games there is, Kingdom Under Fire Heroes
The game generally looks good, but if you get really close it looks not so great (same with every game) and with hundreds of troops on screen, its amazing. The sun shines of there armour and the explosions and spells look great, but there isnt a large amount of animations from your allied/enemy soldiers. The RTS point of veiw is great, you select your troops with the left and right trigger, A is move/attack, B is cancel, Y is move all troops and X is bring up spell menu.
The sound in the game is great, especially when charging into enemy troops and hearing loud shouts, in battle theres the big 'cling' when someone hits another, large explostions with satysfying sounds, and there is voice acting in the game (but it isnt too good).
It has multiplayer up to 6 teams, the only lag is Delay, when you switch troops or attack an enemy in Hero mode, it delays. Unless you VS someone close to you (eg, when i VS Aussies, i usually get 0-2 seconds delay, but from someone in America, usually 2-4 seconds delay).
You level up your army everytime you finish a battle, that means updating swords, axes, bows, armour and firepower. But online you only update there skills, not buying new weapons and amour.
It is pretty hard when you get into the later campaigns with Morene and Urukaba. I am stuck on Urukabas campaine, still havn't finished the first mission!
So, i recommed this to people who like RTS/Action on consoles, and something different then Halo.
