More interesting than Warcraft 3!!! This game in many way mirrors Warcraft 3. Firstly, there are 4 races being Space Marines, Chaos Marines, Orks & Eldars. The opening scene is no less than cinematic. It is excellent! The gameplay is very interesting in that one has to capture 1) Strategic points for resource management, 2) Relics to build the best units in the game like Obliberators for Chaos Marines which are totally cool and 3) Critical locations to win the game if you hold them for more than 7 minutes. This method of gameplay differs from the typical ANNIHILATE everything on the map style that most strategy games preach about...Also, there are many interesting upgrades for the game like the typical weapon and armour upgrades. I personally like the squad based concept in which a small squad can be "trained" versus a single soldier. Although realistically speaking, it is rather stupid that one is able to reinforce your army during battles. Your single most important squad will contain of your Force Commander, his fighting prowress in unparalled and when he attacks in close combat, he can literally FLING his enemies around which is way so cool!! Not if you are attacking someone else's Force Commander! Then, there are Sergents, Librarians, and soldiers can also be upgraded with flamethrowers, rocket launchers and such! Very cool indeed. The soundtrack is superb, the graphics is good where RTS is concerned. Also, when your soldiers walk pass buildings, you get to see their "shadows". The same applies for enemy troops. Also, there is something called morale in the game, bring down their enemy morale and their fighting spirit is crushed and they will run and you can pick them off easily! The panning camera isn't very user friendly however using the default camera will suffice. It's difficult to see your own soldiers' faces....Skirmish missions are tough even when on standard mode. Enemies attack withing 2-3 minutes into the game, CONSTANTLY! Bad thing is that enemies start the game before you for skirmish and they have an upper hand on technologies. For example, when I started out my base, the Orks sent over a robot that dealt 300++ damage and decimated my base.......it's a little bit like cheating on AI's side. However it takes a challenge to train a Jedi! Overall, the game is very fun, well balanced and will certainly keep you very entertained although the campaign is WAY TOO SHORT! have fun with the skirmish though and I bet it will be a blast playing online, I havent tried yet. Just played it last night for 4 hours straight till 1am. I believe it will be a game that one will continually polish strategies and will revisit from time to time. Strongly recommended for RTS lovers.
