I don't like RTS games. I got this one from a bundle I bought from Sam's Club. And wow. This has to be the only RTS game I'll ever like. The first time I played it was on my old computer. I recently installed it one this new one (finally) and Im trying to play it, if I can get enough patience again. The gameplay is magnificent, being able to control a whole platoon and move them out to annihilate your enemies with blitzkrieg is wonderous. And trust me: you can never have too many troops. Just the only annoying thing is when you move your guys out and they all run in a single line. I have yet to discover how to form ranks and move out, but one day I shall, and I will beome even more powerful. You can choose at the beginning whether you want to be JDA or Sprawler. The JDA are smooth looking and backed by government funding. The Sprawlers are ragtag and dont need to look fancy to kick your whiny ass. The graphics are cool, except when you have a slow computer (like my old one) but if you have a comp from nowadays, you can easily play this without lag. Or you have a beefy graphics card installed. Being able to zoom in and watch the fight from a third person perspective is amazing. Although you might want to worry abou how many troops are left and whos attacking you base rather than aweing at the gaphics. Ive never beaten this game so Im not sure how long it will last, and Im damn eager to find out what happens at the end. Another annoying aspect is when youve almost run out of Taelon and your troops are quickly getting slaughtered, the end is near. So what do you do? Restart the level and this time plan out your use of Taelon. All I can say is that if you read this review and are curious about one of the most underappreciated games in history: find it and buy it. If you can't, ask a friend. If you have no friends: get a life.

I've played this game a long time ago but I must confess it was a great experience. It might not bring anything new or groundbreaking to the genre but it certainly is worth playing. The story is set in an apocalyptic ... Read Full Review
