At the begining a bit boring but as you lern the game is a wonderful must-buy game.
Pros: Brilliant graphics, may not completly up to date but still good (bloom effect good too)
Unit designer, i think every rts game should have this, its brilliant that you can decide what weapons that you want to equip your soldiers with, and that you can pick up enemy weapons and use them for yourself :D
Physics: First rts game ive seen with such a impressive physics engine, buildings fall down piece by piece and crash to the ground, shaking the camera and creating smoke, and every unit has ragdoll physics, company of heroes does that too (another great game)and i dont see many game where you actually see the arrows stuck in the enemys and they stay there until the bodies go
Blood: A bit of a random thing to finish off but i havent seen a rts with so much blood, the blood doesnt stay for long but when you get an axe to an enemy you really see what it can do :D
Cons: Voice acting, bad at times
Sometimes slightly slow paced (doesnt really bother me much though, rts's do require patience)
I definitely reccomend this game to any rts fan out there, this game rules!
ANCIENT WARS: SPARTA FTW (oh and the engine i think is simliar to warcraft 3, but very very enchanced...
