The game is well - made, easy to control, and fun to play. I'd so no, definately NOT the worst RTS of the year. It's simply designed for the console. I don't think it's fair to compare it to PC RTS games that utilize the keyboard for 100 different shortcuts. By this game's very nature, it is simplistic to control and not overly difficult to strategize. However, it makes up for that with fast-paced gameplay and smooth, no-nonsense battles.
