 Awkward controls and out-dated gameplay by 2008 standards, 2008-06-05
This well-reviewed game hasn't withstood the years as well as some other games of the same era (Homeworld comes to mind.) I'm a great fan of strategy games, but I just couldn't get into this game.
The minimap is small and difficult to use, but it becomes a major focus of your game, as the main screen - your third person over-the-shoulder view - really only helps you in the immediate tactical fight you're in. I found it hard to visually distinguish between some types of units, and having to click on them to identify them was quite annoying.
If you're a fan of Battlezone style gameplay, then by all means, give this game a shot. But there is a reason the experimental hybrid strategy-action genre died away in 2001 or so; it just isn't as fun as a pure RTS or pure action game. Instead you've got more successful hybrids flourishing - like grand strategy / RTS hybrids (Star Wars: Empire at War, Sins of a Solar Empire), RPG / Action (Oblivion, Bioshock), or Racing / Action / RPG (Grand Theft Auto.)
