I bought this game hoping to have another solid RTS to my collection. I was dissapointed. This game is serverly lacking compared to other RTS games considering it only has 2 factions and each faction has about 10 units. Also the fact that there is a limited amount of "bases" (places where you can build structures) and you can only build 6 per base. If you are an FPS fan this can be good introduction to the genre. If you are hardcore RTS fan dont even bother with this game, its only fun to CoD/Halo players who ever never experienced 'strategy' before. The campaign may be worth it if you are a fan of the Halo story line and want to see another chapter in it. If you want a strategy game for the xbox I suggest any of the C&C games, they have a good fanbase on the xbox and are good examples of the kind of fun an xbox RTS can bring. But if you have a computer get starcraft 2. There is no competition.
