The missions may be canned - with no random variation aside from box patrols and units reacting to you - but the sim gameplay itself is great.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 156 sampled reviews raised it
Of course, this game made the Guinness Book of World Records 1999-2000 as 'Most Intellectually Challenging PC Game', and while I probably wouldn't call it the hardest game in existence anymore, I'd say the difficulty still holds up.
