A great "twitch" action game for those into that sort of thing...but the word "strategy" has got to
WIC is indeed beautiful to look at, but a strategy game it is not. Essentially, you load a map....order up some units from a more-or-less endless pool of units...and toss them at whatever comes your way. For sure, there's more to it than that, and I'm simplifying....but no game that ever called itself an RTS has ever turned me off so quickly. Something's missing for me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but WIC just feels like a big "sandbox" game where you get to blow everything up...in admittedly glorious, particle-and-physics accelerated glory. Those gamers who get a real rush out of games like Battlefield 2 and its ilk (games I also despise like a bad toothache, by the way) will probably love this. People who enjoy more traditional RTS games like Company of Heroes, the Warhammer games, or even older fare like Homeworld or Starcraft, will probably get the same sort of empty, "what's going on here?" feeling that I am.
