What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Never got to play this when it came out as my computer just couldn't handle it, but lately I've been in need of a solid singleplayer campaign story-driven RTS, and decided to finally see how good this is, and it vowed me in the first hour.
This is a good Retroish RTS that appears at first sight to just be bigger, better, with more toys and layers without sacrificing the core gameplay loop you want out of something in that C&C RTS style.
But still, the combat, the simple foundation yet with a lot of detailed upgrades and layers on top of it, the massive scale, the look and feel of the units and the graphics still being good enough is I think reason enough to recommend this.
We would reoutinely play 6 to 8 co-op or multiplayer (free for all) games on LAN before the Internet speeds really got fast.
Build super weapons.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
