I'm a big fan of FPS and RTS games, Raven Squad has it both plus you get to control all 6 squad members which makes it fun to play. So far I've only finished 3 missions on veteran, so my rating is only based on what I've finished and I have to say the game is good it's no COD 4 or HALO 3 but the game is playable and thats what counts. Earlier I read a review that said the graphics look bad, people who rate games based on how good they look shouldn't be writing reviews, I think everyone should play it first and rate the game on how well it plays. My only problem with the game is it doesn't have a cover system, So the bottom line is don't expect a game of the year award, Raven Squad is a simple RTS, FPS game thats it you'll have fun renting and playing it and if you must have it buy it. Forget the bad reviews judge for yourself.

This game is decent, it's defiantly worth a try. They did well with mixing the two aspects, the characters have absolutely no facial features, their mouths move tho, when they talk. The convos are bland, and have really no emotion. But the gameplay is alright

Bad

An attempt to combine a FPS with a RTS. Fail.

When i received this game I was looking for a game to tide me over until a game like CODMF2 comes out, sadly this game dissapointed in every way. After a few minutes of playing I started to notice and get annoyed by some of the game outright flaws. Sound effects not matching with movements or reloading. No evidence you even shot bullets unless you hit your target which despite the poor AI is still difficult to do. Poor voice acting, which seems to come out of nowhere and have zero emotion or even fluctuation. And this was just my first impressions. I thought maybe the RTS aspects of the game will redeem it. however when I was given the ability to view the battlefield in a RTS view i found it rather boring to move my guys around the map and watch them kill the stupid enemies. They expect you to switch between the RTS and FPS views, and to win the battles you probably should. The shooting part of the game was so poorly done that I found myself only telling them to go kill things, which doesn't work well since they pick of the same poor AI when you aren't in control of them... MULTIPLAYER.... It was lag lag lag lag.
So I'm going to pretend it didn't have one because it was so awful.. the multiplayer in one word. Terrible. The single player in one word. Poor. so all in all I would not recommend this game to anyone, it's poorly made and doesn't have enough, if any, redeeming factors to make it worthwhile. So avoid this terribly poor game.
