It has its flaws, but it's a good (very short) RTS I was anticipating this game after playing the beta, it's got awesome graphics, a nice assortment of races with differing units, and the sound is pretty good as well. After having made the purchase, I don't think it was worth the price. It's a great game, no doubt - but there is nothing "epic" about the story. In a universe where these races have access to a great deal of planets, this is a twelve mission campaign set over the course of under three days. The single player skirmish is fun though, and multiplayer may boost the play time for this game if you can get past the childish players that can't say anything but "i pwned u loserz ha". A few other issues I found in this game seem to be cloned from Starcraft. If you have too many units in a squad, and too many squads in the same general location, some units will: a) never stop moving, which can be an issue if they wander too close to the enemy while they try to find the rest of their squad b) cease to move completely, and will not catch up with the rest of the squad when the squad engages or moves. Another issue I found is that of the "attack move". Most of us know what that is, for those that don't - you select a location you want your units to go to, but you want them to stop and engage all enemies along the way. When sending a great deal of squads/units on an "attack move" it is very likely that some of the squads at the back of the group will simply stop moving. If you want an epic story, get Starcraft if you don't have it - or Warcraft 3 (not the expansion, it gets too fruity). If you absolutely must get this game, either make sure you have mature friends (or that you are the "omg loserz11!!one1" type) to play this multiplayer with. Oddly enough, something I heard a lot in the campain by way of unit voice, rings true for this game as a whole: "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."
