Well, after investing hours on this game I have to say that I am not that impressed.. Sure its innovative, but units are mere cannon fodder and you rely more on base expansion than anything else.. I have to agree with the previous reviewer about lack of documentation.. and agree with the GS review about only hard core Perimeter players playing this game.. It isn't for newbies or the casual RTS gamer. I'm not about to go through forums and translate from Russian only to play the game.. that being said I give it a FAIR score of 6. Gameplay is okay, a bit freaking, but so was Darwinia when I first played. The game gripped me for the first 10hrs or so.. but it felt like a chore thereafter. Sound, as with the GS review.. nothing mind blowing.. Graphics are okay.. but I base more on gameplay than on graphics alone. The game is pretty stable and runs very well, no graphical glitches on a 8800 GTS (which is still a new card, and is bound to have game glitching) Value: worth 20 bucks? If you like to grind through the game, or have played the previous game. I do have to say it is a new twist on the genre.
