So Ground Control is a real time strategy game set in the future, about 100 hundred years from now. You start your first mission right into the action, you get mission briefing, set your soldiers (whom you can change a bit, add to their speed in cost of fire-power or add armor in cost of speed.) and when you get to the mission, you need to drop those soldiers from a drop ship, and from there - the only way out is finishing the mission. The first mission is set in the desert, where you need to assault a small enemy base and take out specific structures there. Buildings in the game have no major meaning to most mission, but here and there there are turrets which you need to disable and power generators, which if you destroy will make the turrets go down. The plot isn't the most attractive aspect of the game, but it might be quiet interesting. Weird pointy buildings appear in several location, but no one knows what they actually do, and as the war between you and the enemy advances, so does the plot advances. There are two fractions, which you use one after you finished the previous and each has 15 missions to complete. Actually, the two factions are against each other, but after one of the other faction's commander or whatever convinced that the pointy weird buildings are dangerous, you take control of him. Graphically, the game looks spectacular. Amazing special effects, detailed units and different in-game time sets make this game one of the most amazing looking games ever. I enjoyed looking at those heavy battles, which eventually out of losing my mind I lost. I should've paid more attention of what's going and not how's it looking =P. The game requires a lot of tactics, although mostly it isn't too complicated, but still can make the game really lengthy, especially the multi-player option which really give the value a high score, although I did not play it actually. I only tested. And, for the game itself, I never finished it because it was too tough for me. A snow mission got me seriously. The one thing that I missed is in-missions saving. You must finish the mission or you will have to re-start. I always had to sadly turn off my computer when I had to go. So, Ground Control is all about amazing graphics, excellent and innovative experience which will not be forgotten ever. If you are into strategy or just like games, don't miss this hot game.
