I really enjoy this game. I got this game at the same time as Galactic Civ. II, and I have to say that BFME 2 is the way to go for a short RTS experience. If you are just looking to get your game on for an hour or two, then this is your title. I got the Collector's Edition, and it's worth the price just for the addition of the Dragon that you can use that isn't included with the regular copy of the game. There are a host of other additions that make the CE worthwhile as well. I enjoy playing the skirmish mode best of all, and the many maps are varied extremely well. You can fight on any terrain dealt with in the trilogy and then some. EA has done an admirable job with the patches as well. The characters are lively, and the voice acting is great. If you like a straight forward, uncomplicated RTS, then you will definitely like this game. If you like something more complicated, and time consuming, then I would look elsewhere.
