    This game was released in March 2005. I have seen this game for real cheap at half price books lately. So I checked out IGN and it seemed to look pretty neat. I wanted to know if anyone has tried it here and get some reviews.

    My thing is a really like games that are different each time you play. Example, ARMA is a Military FPS/RTS that you can create Dynamic missions that are different each time you play. Does this game offer any dynamic play?

    Thanks for your feedback...

    Blackbird, Thanks... Was it the same each time you played? Meaning, did the game always respond the same way each time or did it always attack the same area each time?

    Again thanks!

    I dont remeber but the game is definately worth checking out, I suggest you give the demo a try you wont regret it.

    This is what Gamespot says.

    Gameplay - 8
    Graphics - 9
    Sound - 8
    Value - 8
    Tilt - 9

    Overall 8.5

    The Good -
    * Excellent real-time strategy gameplay
    * Beautiful, gorgeous graphics
    * Effective live action cutscenes
    * Great production values
    * Intriguing plot.

    The Bad -
    * There can be a lot to micromanage at times
    * Some bad acting and accents at times
    * The story leaves too many unanswered questions. (i think they have been answered in the expansion pack, expansion pack which is standalone got 8.0 rating)
