- Well, I thought I might express my opinions about the game - this is
- NOT a spoiler!
-
- The graphics are excellent, much better than simcity or civilization.
- The sound is excellent, much better than simcity, on par with
- civilization.
- The action is intense, much better than simcity, much better than
- civilization. - the real-time combat gives you no time to sit and relax - just
- attack, defend, attack, harvest!
- The plot is good - not much build up, but none is necessary!
- The enemy logic sucks - which makes it much like civilization in that
- respect.
- The only 'negative' about the game is that the enemies start out with
- all their structures built and then never build any more (at least this is
- what I have observed) Therefore, once you know the general setup of the enemy
- base (although it is random each time), you can blow them to bits!
-
- I would rate it a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10, ten being the best.
- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10
- worst - better - good - AWESOME!!!
