 I returned it once and then just gave up. February 29, 2008

This was a gift for my grandson. When I learned that he couldn't install it on his three year old PC, I tried on my 3 GHz PC with 2 GB of RAM and kept getting a CD error. Amazon was great about returning it and the replacement installed, although installing the four CDs took about thirty minutes, but then both my grandson and I got the same message when we tried to run it, that we couldn't use it because the graphics card does not support Pixel Shaders or or Vertex Shaders, which I had to look up. A text file on one CD gave a list of supported graphics cards, and it was the same list as another game I had given him from another company and he had successfully installed. Then I gave up. $80 or more for a graphics card that might or might not work, and all this over a $20 game, was just too much. Maybe Amazon would take it back again, but between running it back and forth between our two houses all of this has already taken three months, and enough is enough. I tried to give it no stars, but the system wouldn't accept that.

Forget it folks, this is nothing more than a bad game with a lot of hyped up pictures on the box.
I love RTS games and would play them all day if it paid. But if you really enjoy RTS games this is a real disappointment. The best way I can describe it, IRRITATING! No resource management hardly, no base defense, and quite frankly most missions take 2-5 tries even on "EASY" I suppose part of me held this game to a C&C Generals type game but oh well, I played, I cried, I spent more than three dollars.
 Simple game October 6, 2007

I played this game for a few weeks for hours every other day. I found it was pretty simple to kill the enemy just by taking the airfield and defending it while gradually building up your forces between each wave of attacks by the enemy. It was fun to fight against 3 AI forces but it was easy just to defend the area you start out in while the other 3 forces took each other out,all the while you build up your tanks and call in strikes on the remaining forces repair trucks and missile trucks. I thought the graphics were pretty good but I'm not sure what the standard for RTS games is because i have only played a few. I didn't have any problems playing it offline but i was never able to actually play it online but i blame that on my internet provider since i have many problems with online games because of them. I would say for $20 this game is worth a try.
 Definitely not your average RTS July 14, 2007

I LOVE This game.period. The gameplay is amazing, even if i comes with a pretty steep learning curve. The graphics are phenomenal. The story line is great, and the actual game dynamics and usable items etc are almost endless. GREAT GAME!!!!!!

This game was quite a good buy. Aside from stunning graphics, the gameplay is excellent, much more tactically oriented than many other games. And act5ion comes quite thick (escpecially in skirmish mode, where it may actually come a little TOO thick)
I reccoment it for any RTS fan, but if you aren't an RTS fan, maybe you should pass it up.
