Instead of your traditional gather around a new point, they stay rank and file. But its awesome once you get used to it. Attack and Defense strategies like never before are now available. Your special guys unlike in Starcraft and the like are very useful and can be put on the frontlines and often save the day and make the difference. Overall everything is excellent except one thing.
Graphics are good.
Some interesting effects. But the aren't spectacular. Their never was a need for RTS to have bad ass graphics. Those would just clog the game up. The music is good.
