Hello, I know many of you are thinking, another RTS for the 360? It's true that RTS's don't have the best rep on consoles but gus, this one has to be the most solid console RTS to date. For those few that have written reviews with anything less than a 7, how could you. There is no way you should base the game off of your 10 minuets or less of actual gameplay. It's an RTS after all, not a shooter. Patience in a must. but i digress. 1st off is the factions. You have the humans (Only Playable In Campaign), The Novus (A Race of highly advanced robots that come to earth to save humanity), The Hierarchy (my personal favorite, you know, the ones with the giant walkers), and lastly there's the Masari (the ancient alien race that inspired the egyptians and the aztecs). These 3 classes (not including humans) offer a wide range of infinite possibilities. Each class is geared towards a specific playing style that players will immediately identify. The races also have 3 unique heroes that are very well made. These heroes special abilities make battles and gameplay just that more fun! Moreover, each race has specific super weapons that look amazing and inflict massive amount of damage (such as summoning a lack hole inside your enemy's base and watch his soldiers be sucked up into oblivion!). The Flow Network (a network of power lines that allows for instant transport of any unit at super speeds) of the novus can provide hours of fun gameplay by just experimenting with the location of each tower. The hierarchy's walkers (The titanic red thing on the cover) just makes the game worth playing by itself. However, i come to you today not to offer you a poorly thought out review, but as a fellow gamer. We need more people on this amazingly fun game, Unfortunately, this game is often overlooked and will eventually go on to be forgotten. I am pleading to you, rent this game, Its extremely well thought out controlls make the gameplay easy to pick up and is truly a great RTS.
