    If you love real-time strategy but are getting a little bored of tank rushes and linear opposition then you should snap this up as soon as you can – it’s worth every penny and then some.

    What a Real Time Strategy is meant to be. 'nuff said.

    The levels look absolutely stunning on the super high resolution. I love the weapon effects and the destructible terrain.

    May be too complicated for many real-time strategy players and a little too silly for hardcore wargamers. If you don't mind making some compromises in either direction, however, there is ample fun to be had.

    An enjoyable change of pace and presents enough atmosphere, and solid gameplay to entertain, just don't expect any of it to be easy.

    There's fun to be had here so long as you aren't expecting a serious World War II sim. [Feb 2001, p.64]

    On paper, the idea sounds great (and the game has been a huge hit in Europe), but the final product flat out stinks.

Many This game totally kicks most other RTS games to the curb. It has stunning graphics and awsome sound which makes the whole game better. Many of the missions depict many real battles like Bastogne, Stalingrad, and D-day and even has a mission based on the movie Saving Private Ryan. All of the weapons and vehicles are real and if you are good at RTS games then you will have almost no problems beating the campaign mode.… Expand

Assaults are fast and furious with little room for error. There are some issues around movement that lend to the confusion of a fire fight.
