This game seems amazing at first.The animations,the action its all plain fun but when it comes to the change of tactics...well it feels like pre-2000 beat'em up game.After 12 missions(as far as i know half the game or so) all i did was pick my folks clear the level and own the boss.It felt a bit like playing Diablo 2 but without the great athmosphere and music.
Since the builing element is off the game can't be really called strategy either,it's more of a squad commander with the amazing count of 4 teams.
The storyline isn't as amazing as i expected either.The Hive Mind and the zerg looking aliens just felt so star-craftish/starship-trooperish.



My overall opinion is good action-packing ,yet brainlessly held together in look-alike missions and story.
10 for action 0 for imagination.
