This game was over-hyped in some minds, and to some people... there wasn't enough potential. I am gonna simplify this into one word... AWESOME! The controls were responsive and easy to learn. The concept of Heavy Metal combined with the action-adventure genre blew my mind. All of the gameplay elements came together and boiled down to one simple concept... STAGE BATTLES! You get to build a stage and create units to fight other factions (like an RTS-style game) This is one of my favorite genres and I have played these since early-childhood (birth-5 yr old) These genre will never die. The graphics are cutting-edge and beautiful. Sometimes, I feel like I am in the game due to the fact that any metal is awesome in my mind. The metal-montage of creatures and enviroments that would be on a CD cover is in here in all of it's current-gen glory. The replay value is moderate for me. I could play this a couple of times to see how the game plays out with gore on/language on, gore off/language on, and gore off/language off. This game has a freaking option IN GAME that lets you turn gore and harsh language on or off (so if there are certain individuals that come and go alot, you can do this fast and easily) It censors face melting, gibs, and even people CUT IN HALF, censors all swearing, and even covers all middle-finger scenes. This game is easily one of my favorite RTS-Adventure games of all time (yeah, it basically broke through RTS-style and created its own genre, RTS-Adventure! The (sometimes dark) humor will keep you from NOT bursting out laughing. This game is definitely a must-have for any fans of Metal/RTS-genre. It is basically a montage of some of the greatest metal by all-star bands COMBINED with awesome RTS-style gameplay.
