I like a of em games so don't take this the wrong way. The game is beautiful if you have a video card that can handle the graphics and lots of ram..........and the story line is great which is lacking in other RTS games like R of N and Empire Earth series.

So why does it need updated? Well, look at the year (it's 2005-2006) and RTS games are exactly the same. Sure there have been some advancements such as Ragdoll physics, storyline inplamented in, more/different units and a different time period but where's the change? Where's the intovation? There is none. This is the exact same game as it was back in 1997 when the first a of em came out.

I know they didn't want to risk losing long time fans of the series including me by changing the gameplay but they could of at least made a few changes to it. I really hate resource gathering because it takes away and distracts you from the core gameplay which is fighting battles and saving people's lives so I'm not impressed with this game but it's an adverage RTS if you include the updated graphical effects which is not what makes great gameplay. I'm sorry. If I want graphics I can just fire up Earth 2160 or something to that effect.

All in all, the same hum-drum RTS gameplay, resource gathering and base building as in everyother RTS now days. No new changes except in the graphics, physics and storyline.

Maybe they'll get it right in the next release? Maybe not?
