This was a very, very good game. In terms of RTS's, its no Warcraft, but I assure you this is pretty much the best RTS since. You have to admit, there hasn't been a GOOD real time strategy game (in this style- not counting Stronghold or RoN or Civilization) since War/StarCrafts Excellent storyline, pretty fair load times, and relatively easy interface. Learning the buttons is tough at first, but the hints are there, or come up, all of the time, so its easy to figure out. Now, the dialog is a little weak, and a bit obvious, but i don't play games for the acting, i play it for the game. The units are sick, and there are a lot of special powers to use, so go crazy. The walkers are a lot of fun, once you get to use them. Rent this game, its awesome!

How Can You Not Like This RTS?

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.

This game was a very fun game with very intense battles that you can not keep your eyes off. The land scape looks very good and how you get your money is verry unique game.The online play is very fun but can run little slow.
