This game is amazing and SOOO addicting and fun! It’s an RTS, so of course it’s somewhat like Warcraft and Command and Conquer, but it takes it in a new direction. Squads of men are what fight for you in this superb RTS. Each squad is unique in a way and can be upgraded with more men or better weapons, or you may even add a Sgt. or Hero to the group to make it a stronger unit. Just coming up with squad grouping strategies has been fun! The graphics and the way the battles play out are what set this game way ahead of others. The squads will charge each other and as they battle some of the most vicious animations have been added to show the brutality of the game. You might have a squad of 8 marines get torn through by a giant orc in what appears to be a Mech Warrior outfit in some of the most beautifully bloody sequences you could wish for. The orc will pick your marines up, grind them in his hand, burn them with his flamethrower and then throw the marine’s bloody corpse bouncing across the landscape until it hits a tree or building and dies. It’s the best fighting animations bar none! The 4 races are all great to play as and hold various strategies based on their strengths and weaknesses, but they all balance out well. The only draw back that I’ve found is the lack of scenarios for the other 3 races after you beat the game as marines. I’m sure they will be in the expansions! You will not be disappointed in this game! It’s the best RTS out there! Move over Warcraft III!
