    This game will become the benchmark by which all such titles will be measured. The game’s AI is strong enough to present a challenge and the lack of base and harvest management is wonderfully refreshing.

    Basically, what all this goodness translates to is a fantastically well-balanced and tremendously fun fast-paced tactical RTS.

    I've had a blast playing Ground Control II: Operation Exodus. It's fast and fun and was certainly one of the most entertaining games that I've played in quite some weeks.

    Eminently likeable; as moreish as chocolate kittens, more addictive than smack-sprinkled kebabs. All the key ingredients of an RTS are here: well-balanced varied units, interesting missions, a surprising plot.

    Massive Entertainment have once again upped the bar for RTS graphics, as Ground Control 2 is one of the most astonishingly gorgeous titles around at the moment.

    While Operation Exodus is not without flaws, it offers modes and innovations you won't find in competing real-time strategy games and is a very refreshing take on the genre. It also looks gorgeous.

    The real missed opportunity in Ground Control II is that such great visuals are built into a game design that smothers you in too much busy work to enjoy them. [Sept 2004, p.64]

    Very fun and challenging game online, the sp is pretty good too. Only one thing I don't like is that at times there are some pathfinding issues.
