Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
The problem is that the passion seems to have run out halfway through, the first third of the campaign missions are detailed, reward exploration and feel very well crafted.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
Add to this the fact that this game's graphics are easily some of the best ever from the mid 2000's era, and I was very impressed with the look and feel and how well it aged, even though I tend to be a graphics snob.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
Outside of the campaign, skirmish and multiplayer modes extend replayability, allowing for custom scenarios and competitive engagements that showcase the game’s large-scale battles.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
It goes for a very cheap price and is a lot like the first Spellforce game, albeit with a better story, good voice-acting and on a signficantly larger scale.
