Extremely formative game for me. I recommend it! Amazing story, graphics, and three campaigns that will leave you chomping at the bit for more.
Lost most of it when formatting my pc, one day will retry. Worse than the second one for now.
I held this game in high regard as a kid but playing it now it feels very dated.
The game's main fault is in its balancing, seeing how infantry unit are rarely viable and what you really need are tanks. Too bad their pathfinding is awful, getting stuck over nothing and blocking each other, requiring you to manually control each of them separately. Thank goodness there's a pause button, otherwise this would be infuriating. Also beware difficulty spikes during the Allied campaign, which is what made me abandon the game completely.
You should play this only if you're interested in a somewhat grounded RTS, or if you thought how most games in the genre handle large groups of units dumb and unrealistic, and want to see and see how painful it actually have units have their own volume instead of overlapping each other during movement
