Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What I'm most impressed with though, is that each of the four factions has a COMPLETELY different gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With 4 vastly different factions (each with an interesting back story), massive research trees and very customizable units and buildings, there's a lot of good content hidden in this game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics in the game are often complimented, and at times they're really amazing for 2005, but it kinda depends where you look.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can freely research whatever you want,which leads to customizing your troops after,with different armors that work well against a certain damage type,weapons with different effects or a combination between them,giving you the option to not be locked behind a certain meta build or order,but rather a fun and enjoyable fighting experience.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its good idea to make LINUX / STEAM OS / MAC OS ports of GOOD OLD CLASSICS using WINE.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This one is a little gem, sure has its flaws but it can be a bunch of fun, especially if you're looking to get it to play with some friends of yours who are also willing to spend a single dollar or euro to get it.
