Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
as I have criticised this game, but today I have finished the Japanese campaign. therefore, although I still have many bad points, this game was fun and with a lot of improvements in UI, graphics, automatic map changes in Australia and Caribian islands, which was very very annoying especially the last part, the future games will be much better and enjoyable.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay: The game tries to do many of the things differently than usual - and mostly succeeds, even though learning the game is pretty difficult because of the lack of a proper tutorial - i had to watch youtube videos for that (Thank you, Night Phoenix, very helpful videos and nice gameplay).
