This raises the question of where your loyaltys would lie....
I have only recently goten the game, but I wish i had goten it sooner. As soon as i picked it up I went straight to the Great Plains Federation since it was host to my home in michigan.....and I then proceded to get my face rearanged by the first texas attack into Kansas.......long story short texas now holds the entier heartland. After the happend I instantly restarted and played it again. There is no question one of the best games I have found to date on any system and I would recomend it in an instant to anyone that has ever wanted to do something like blow up the bears football stadium in chicago [that was alot of fun] or to order tanks to roll down mainstreet in Clevland. Or to drop a nuke on allmost any major city in the US....and trust me it was kinda fun to do that.
The only reason i would not recomend this to someone is if the only game they considerd worth playing was Halo or a FPS in general...the strategy and depth of this game may be lost on those unfortunate few.
