For RTS fans this has to be at the top of any list, lots of ideas from other titles but its own ideas shine.

I was impressed so much with the demos I played them for weeks, its rare for any game to capture me so much and the finnal release was as good if not better than I anticipated. Units have amazing detail and animation, even down to tracks, exaust and dust from your wheels. Its mainly the amount of freedom you have over choices in units and equiptment that makes this game playable over and over. With most games I play I look for extended life in the multiplayer arena and this game delivers the best from all the classics and more. The only poor aspect of the game is the cut scenes, with no lip sink animations or CG footage it unfortunately gives the impression of an unfinnished product due partly to the fact they used the ingame engine. Despite this minor fact it does not remove from the games playability and is a recomended buy for all.
