2 factions, one a corporate entity, The Crayven Corporation, the other a group of religious zealots, Order of the New Dawn, are fighting for control of a distant world. The cut-scenes and mission briefings do a good job of moving the story along with strong voice acting. The first thing you ll notice about Ground Control are the graphics. The pictures in this game are just too sweet. The game is also filled with little graphical flourishes, from the way dust flies up behind your arty units when they move, to the tracks that they leave in the dirt that combine to leave other games wanting.
Clouds move across the skies and produce shadows on the ground as they cross the sun.
The landscape, with its hills and valleys, displays shadows in a very realistic manner. Then there are the individual units themselves. The level of detail on a single soldier is astounding. While this is the best looking game to come down the pike in ages the good things don t stop there. The voice acting in Ground Control will not win an Academy Award it is still very strong.
