Poor Camera and Player control. Boring. Good idea, horrible execution.

Such a poor game.

Controls are HORRIBLE.
AI is stupid.
You will encounter LOTS of animation / clipping bugs.
The Tutorial is horribly designed.
The characters are shallow and uninteresting.
Couldn't play more than an hour before uninstalling.

The idea sounds great in theory but they failed to execute it. The mostly flawed thing about the game are the poor controls. You have to "whip" to select the units... annoying as hell. The combat is pretty boring, "cover with buildings" is pretty buggy as most units don't even know how to use cover, reach roofs, shoot from roofs, etcetera.

The voice-over acting is pretty decent I think... The characters are annoying as hell though, sound and music is pretty ok also. The graphics are good too, nothing breakthrough though.
