    A nifty little graphic update to this classic game, with a few twists.
    The map play and the army battle play are exactly the same as the original.
    However, the side-scrolling segments (fort capture and train robbery) are both FPSes now. You and a team of bots battle against a group of enemy soldiers, bound by a time limit. On the train robbery, you win by getting to the locomotive. On    A nifty little graphic update to this classic game, with a few twists.

    However, the side-scrolling segments (fort capture and train robbery) are both FPSes now. You and a team of bots battle against a group of enemy soldiers, bound by a time limit. On the train robbery, you win by getting to the locomotive. On the base assault/defense, you win by eradicating the opponent force.

    I feel the FPS update is a fresher take on the side scrolling segments, which became very tedious. Other than that, it's the exact same as the classic -- gameplay, screens, text, etc.

    The main carp I have is same as in the original: the game is too short. With such a cramped overworld map, a handful of battles will pretty much resolve the whole affair in around 10 minutes of play.

    So if you're looking for some hardcore RTS/Strategy campaign, this may not be for you. But if you want some goofy, punchy fun and an extremely light strategy game, this one is definitely worth checking out.    … Expand

    In addition to being limited to a single map, the game suffers from too much repetitiveness and a dire lack of content.
