    For a game released in march 2000!!! yes 2-0-0-0 (it means it was DEVELOPED IN 1999!) this game is amazing... really... handsdown amazing... try to compare it to the competition up to that date... you simply can't... but it was linear and simple and that makes it a 9/10.

    Please disregard infants who can't elaborate a contextual, logical review like CarcerC or Pandarve... seriously    For a game released in march 2000!!! yes 2-0-0-0 (it means it was DEVELOPED IN 1999!) this game is amazing... really... handsdown amazing... try to compare it to the competition up to that date... you simply can't... but it was linear and simple and that makes it a 9/10.

    Best graphics strategy series.
    Always in my memory. I don't think about gameplay because of its really stunning graphics (good optimised either).
    Graphic measure. Iconic.
    I regret this game series died.

    Talk about revolutionary... some half a year after the release of another "best selling" C&C clone we get this game. While the image quality is dated, this game is by no means revolting to play even 13 years later AND it beats many of the more modern genre options in the way it implements combat and accounts for relevant combat variables such as lighting, visibility and terrain elevationTalk about revolutionary... some half a year after the release of another "best selling" C&C clone we get this game. While the image quality is dated, this game is by no means revolting to play even 13 years later AND it beats many of the more modern genre options in the way it implements combat and accounts for relevant combat variables such as lighting, visibility and terrain elevation AND features plausibly looking aircraft (all the modeling work errs on the side of realism). Great game.… Expand

    It's a great game, it's my favourite games, its not just based on strategy but also in skill, that's what makes player play more and more, to imrpove their skills.

    Great Game! The graphics are good, it is challenging, and yet it is easy to use. I only wish that the characters didn't use so much foul language.

    It was a fine game at that time. Graphics weren't the best ones but it was a cheap game so it was ok. Missions were not very difficult. It's an strategy game placed in the future. To sum up it was an enterteining game.

    As an RTS/RTT its a great simple game. The story is ok but forgetable. The gameplay is simple and enjoyable. The graphics are good for the year 2000. There is a nice difficulty curve as you get more units and the enemy starts to be more of a danger. The A.I. can be a bit stupid and friendly fire is always on. The special abilities for you units will not fire directly towards the enemyAs an RTS/RTT its a great simple game. The story is ok but forgetable. The gameplay is simple and enjoyable.

    The best thing to come out of Sweden since meatballs and tall, big busted, long legged blondes wearing high heels.

    The addition of the 3D camera and terrain gives it an edge over other titles in the area.
