I loved this series since the PC versions in the late 90's...but I warn you, if you try to just "bull your way through these missions, you will learn quickly why these arent called missions but rather called campaigns!!!...You wont be able to just "outbuild' your counterpart(s)men and machines to fight, rather you better know the vehicles along with the infantry types, what their weaknesses and strenghts are quick, because in some campagnis your enemies attack you in waves(like savage moon)... It was frustrating to train a bunch of infantry who couldnt swin!! or build vehicles that didnt shoot at airborne targets as they attacked your buildings...by all means use the tutorial more than once!...when i first learned that each faction only had 8 mission I thought the game was short, I was Dead Wrong!....This game is just like SID's Civilization game, you are totally responsible for what happens out there...the checkpoints and rally points are great for patrolling and the attention to detail is required to the ninth power!!!!!!!..I thought i would have this game back to GF in about 2 weeks, I am still stuck on missions 3(easy mode at that)...I can see that a platinum in this game is far off!....the online play is better, you just dont know what a human would send at ya, one wave might be subs, then the next would be choppers with spies in them...the movie scening and acting is superb...in other words, if you have a short attention span or consider yourself a trophy hunter, move on
