I'll tell ya why this isn't a great game. It doesn't attract anyone who doesn't like Strategy games to the genre. If you aren't a fan of strat. you really won't like this. There isn't much in this game other then micro-manageing scores of guys, and sending them on their way to either grab a victory point, or attack a group of hostiles. The graphics are pretty but that's when you are zoomed in. You will rarely ever play the game zoomed in simply because you'll die. For some reason, in this game, every gun can shoot quite a distance. So if you are zoomed in to much to view all the nice detail on your units, you'll get killed by some guys miles away. The only way you can attack/see your enemy then, is to zoom all the way out. When you are zoomed out, things don't really look ALL that great anymore. Meh. I don't think there is anything spectacular here. Sound. Not too great. When you are zoomed out, you can't really hear the individual bangs and booms anymore. It don't sound like a battlefield. If you are hardcore in to strat games. then give this one a try, you'll probably like it. If you are looking to get in to Strat games then without question, skip this and head RIGHT for Rise of Nations.
