Title: All Hype No Substance
Product review: At first look the game is beutiful. I'm a die-hard RTS fan and I am glad that the genre is moving toward 3D (Ground Control, Earth 2150, etc). The real problem with the game is the gameplay itself.First I'd like to point out that the camera model or 'perspective' as it is called is severely lacking. The camera can only be position up, down, left, and right. With many passages in the game on a 30-45 degree angle it is very hard to view the action. I wish Pandemic would have allowed the freedom to rotate the camera a full 360 degrees (maybae by holding the Shift, Alt, or Ctrl keys while moving the mouse.Secondly the missions just are not fun! There is no fast and frantic gameplay. Taelon extraction and unit creation is just too slow.
