It's fun to play and watch, but has a half-hearted story with no Oompf.

Ok, one reason it got me excited to play was the poster girl, who is supposed to be the resident b*tch in the game. Well I thought she was going to be part of the cinematics treat during the game, but disappointingly, the story isn't much cooked up for you to care, and there is little visual story modes unlike the classic C&Cs. And guess what, that poster girl is almost non-existent except for some vague references by name only.

Although there are 3 houses in the single-player campaign, you only get to play 2 of them, the good guys and the alien race. You can't play the bad guys (Imperators, I think, whom the said poster lady belongs to) and I doubt you can play them too even in multiplayer. Some of the missions are tightly paced, some are draggy, but overall challenging enough with quite balanced and attractive units between the different factions.

The battles are nice to watch with effortless zoom ins and outs, and the technical aspect do them justice too with nice particle effects and bombastic sounds. Just that the story ain't sufficiently satisfying enough to render the whole job well done.
