Look, this is pretty fun.
The games presentation is imaculate. The colour palates, the unit design, even the UI is fantastic. The campaign? Honestly not super fun. The mission structures are really dull, and not at all where I think RTS missions should be by 2008, they're as railroaded as a classic like Warcraft 3
The skirmishes however are a TON of fun. Building your base, the rock paper scissors mechanic of RTS units is strong in this one, but there's 2 big problems
1. the AI is either pitiffully easy and there's almost no challenge once you survive the initial push (this is a very common problem in RTS games so i wouldnt fault this one except) but the next difficulty up is RIDICULOUS and the AI will absolutely pump you full of shit until you scream uncle
2. there's not fucking online. Stupid fuckin ea game and their stupid fuckin ea servers. If i could play this with my friend (we bought it to play together) it would get a higher grade. FOr now, eh
