Advantages: Its a C&C style game

Disadvantages: too many to list - see review

A lot of companies have tried to copy the style of Westwood's Command and Conquer and some have succeeded. This game however falls extremely short of the mark.

The story is based around the usual two factions battling it out. You have to gather resources to increase your army in order to defeat the enemy.

Graphically it is quite good but on my system I had many problems with the display corrupting during gameplay. The sound is also quite good. So what is the problem?

Well, its just like any other number of games. At the time there were several other games released and this was the worst of them.

The problem is that it is very difficult, even on the lower difficulty settings - I had problems getting past even the second mission. This is not the only problem however. The controls leave a lot to be desired and there are just so many small niggly problems which ruin the experience.

With hindsight, I wouldn't touch this game. I wish I'd bought it from Electronics Boutique so I could have at least got my money back.
