The game definitely has great potential if the A.I. was better but as it is its an excellent idea just not executed right The game Starts ok with some flimsy FPS part which is annoying if you got this for the rest but the FPS part is neither hard nor long and then u get the the main game which has you controlling the units RTS style but the path-finding AI for the walruses (the land unit) is terrible there are some work around which improve their moving about (but does not fix it) but still its lacking because you have to babysit the units in some areas and if you leave them to go somewhere on their own you might come back just to find them trying to become one with a tree or a rock or down a cliff because they decided using the bridge was too simple or maybe melting in a volcano because they were feeling cold perhaps? Path-finding aside the A.I. is lacking on when atacking enemies because they will just start going back and forth doing some kind of rain dance and in the process bump into eachother and some times even going off cliffs which makes controlling them yourself recomended The air units though dont suffer much from the bad pathfinding but they do some times (a bit rare but happens) where they just cant work around a hill/mountain but the main problem is when u give them an atack order and the target moves toward them or the target is a turret near a building thats when they go bonkers trying to hit it and end up just flying up and down above their target which is quite frustrating but not as bad the the land units A.I asside the game has some good potential to grab your attention for a few hours as long as the walruses dont make you ragequit the game because they decided to check out the side of a cliff or maybe some lava near it or even go guns blazing into an enemy base by themselves and get blown up Graphicwise the game is quite good looking for an RTS/Action game the sound effects is good (except some bad voice acting in the campaign) and the gameplay interesting could be an 8.5 or more if the A.I was improved but a good game overall but i'd wait till a patch fixes the A.I to buy it or just work around the issues I find myself playing it about 1-2 hours a day and stopping it once the walruses gets me irritated enough to stop but i always come back to it

So, this game is made by Bohemia Interactive, the creator of ARMA. ARMA is a very realistic military shooter, so you would think the developer would bring some of that realism to this game, but no, I was wrong At the... Read Full Review
I played the original on the Amiga, and its graphics were dismal to todays standards. Blocky and simple, yet, a great game, with true sandbox play. I loved it.-------------------------------------------------------------... Read Full Review
