I just picked this game up for five dollars several days ago and man was I surprised. After the installation (which took about 10 seconds), I immediately got started on the campaign after listening to the menu's background music, which is really good by the way, and was started on probably the best, most inexpensive RTS I've played in a while. For five bucks you get the usual campaign, skirmish, and multiplayer modes that are accustomed to all RTS games. However, what sets this one apart is its unique gameplay and camera. The camera in Ground Control II is free moving, and you can look up, down, zoom in, zoom out, or even follow behind your troops as they storm and enemy bunker. Impressive camera options in an RTS like this one are a must, and make up for any other graphical issues you may come across. Unlike many other RTS games, you cannot build buildings in Ground Control II, but that really doesn't matter when you can call down all manner of troops in your armed dropships. Your men can hide-out in buildings, set up defensive turrets and defend several of your drop zones, or flank around an enemy with infantry concealed inside a forest. There are tons of different strategical dicisions to make in Ground Control II, and from the casual gamer's eye, this game may appear not well done. But when you get started playing the game and actually get hooked on it, theres no stopping you.
