Oh how this game sounded great. A tactical strategy come action game, and
not based on WWII or the 23rd century, but fairly present day. Unfortunately
I'm really disappointed. I'll give 10/10 for the graphics, they really are
superb. You will however, need a fairly beefy machine to see the best the
graphics have to offer. The sound is fine, 8/10. The gameplay, aahh.
The problem I have is that each mission, and each scenario within each
mission, is too rigidly defined. Go here, attack this, defend that... it's
too micro managed. My preference would be for big detailed maps (which they
have), your set of units, with ways of getting reinforcements (which they
have), and one big overall objective, e.g. take that town over there.
Unfortunately, while the end game may be to take a town, instead of deciding
how you're going to go about it yourself, it's too scripted. This is too
detailed, and doesn't allow you to use your own brain to reach an overall
objective. Shame really.
Score: 4
