Typical console RTS

What can I say? The game is good, but it is outdone by the PC version. Confusing controls, view and a slightly long time to load make for a bad game. Thankfully, the game's storyline and mission design are excellent, and make up for the defects in the game. The campaign missions are good, but if the PC has all that, and does it better... Get the PC version if you want to enjoy the game better.
That being said, If you have an XBOX360 and a lousy computer, get this game. However, you'll find yourself switching to other games quickly.
