Not sure if anyone has posted this but the demo is availible on the marketplace and its fun as hell!!

There is a training mode, try that befor u go online. 

My 360 is broken so I have not been able to play it. Battle for Middle Earth 2 was good though and my only real complaint (for RTS on console standpoint) was the lag when fighting bigger battles (though still small battles for RTS standards).

I will probably get it, I loved my 55 wins and 4 losses in Battle for Middle Earth online. I never did play all that many RTS games for the PC but these console gamers, wow. I once fell asleep after my men to attack the enemy base (I didn't even attack with a large force) when I woke up I had won the game.

I downloaded it and I really didn't get it.

Unless you don't play RTS games I don't see what is not to get. If you have never played an RTS game before there is usually a tutorial or training mode and the first few single player missions usually teach you some basics. People sometimes put their strategies online as well.

Yeah, I have it on my 360. I lost few battles, it's my first RTS. What I don't get is, how is it possible they can build their armies fast just enough to outnumbered my armies? I still enjoyed it.

i have played all the C&C games all were a blast this is my first rts on the 360, must say the controls are layed out amazing well, i mean a mouse would always be my first choice but after doing the tranining mission and playing the 2 GDI missions a few times i found the interface to be very quick and easy to use.

even the short cuts are easyer to get to the on a keybourd and seting rally points for units to be set to after buliding is easy, it does a great job of making u think about the action on screen insteed of the controls.

did not get into any online games as sadly got the 3 red lights of death, so now on 360 #4 so will have to wait till next month to play this again

Sigh. Back in the day when RTS were 2D, they were good.

But now? It's 60% "If you're not fast enough, you're screwed", 20% "Why o why does the camera suck so much? Wouldn't it be, like, better if it were fixed? In what way exactly do 3D-graphics enhance this genre?" and 20% Strategy. They should call it Real-Time-Strategy-Racing-Games.

Ehm, yeah... if you build you're base undefended then you're not a very good strategist. When you're opponent notices you are not defending you're base you can expect an assault on it. So it's all you're fault you're getting rushed. I played around 30 games and I haven't lost a single one. Especially not to a rush.

And 3D graphics just look better. You have such a weak point that it's RTS it doesn't need 3D graphics. I wonder how cool Gears of War would be with Doom graphics.

I hear ya on that. 2D RTS games seem to have a much faster pace. The units all seem to move kinda sloowwwwlllyyy in these new 3D games. And the camera is a little messed up too.
