The true joy though is in multiplayer, i will not go into further detail here...just buy it, its dirtcheap for what it offers, and try it out yourself.

The short answer: SCFA is a game with a ridiculously high skill ceiling, allowing for a LOT of upward growth and progression, but it can also be played about as casually as you want.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign is amazing, the scale of the battles are breath-taking, the strategies you can come up with are numerous and vary wildly every game, and don't even get me started on the tech and units.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

It would drive the top-end system into the ground with its rich, lush graphics and absolutely enormous battles.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Behind the steep learning curve and the very small scale match start lies pure strategy that is more refined and accessible.
