This game is, like I said, one of the better RTS's on the market today. It has a very high replay value and is worth every penny. The gameplay is a great, and the controls are very easy to learn. It is very fluid and easy to understand. The graphics are pretty standard for a RTS on a pc, but are also enjoyable when you bomb your enemies with a nuclear bomb. Sound is nothing to complain about or give high praises to, although it fits the game very well. Like I said, the replay value is high, especially when doing pointless deathmatches against the computer players. The game is similar to Age of Empires but has a lot more depth such as goverment types, cities, and troop tactics. This is a must-have for any pc owner looking for a great RTS to enjoy.
