Overview: I pick this game up for $5. It is by no means the best RTS i've ever played but for the price its not bad. Gameplay: The gameplay is pretty good. Missions vary from rescues to search and destroy. There are a good number of different kinds of units and vehicles. With the latest patch your squads are smart enough to survive. Without it, they won't fire back until told, so do yourself a favor and get it. Graphics: Not the best but for five bucks you can argue. Sound: Sound is fairly good. Explosions sound okay and gunfire sounds generic. Value: There are a good amount of missions to keep you busy for awhile and there is multiplayer mode to play on a LAN.
