Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, as I am reviewing the Collector's Edition of the game I would like to illustrate how the extra goodies weigh in comparison to what we usually expect from a limited or collector edition of a game.
Unlike most so-called collector's editions which contain merely a second disk with throwaway content that most of the time isn't worth watching, or a few extra maps or units, this collector's edition is among the very few such as Bioshock which include substantial additions to your purchase.
This is a two-part box, with a clothe-style coating and the name of the game written in Russian on the Soviet-flag section, and written in English on the American flag bottom.Inside is a History Channel DVD covering the Berlin Wall, a DVD including making of featurettes and trailers, a disk including a buddy key for a 14 day MP trial you can give to a friend, and a small chunk of what remains of the Berlin Wall, complete with certificate of authenticity written in German.
In all - worth the $10.00 extra you will spend, though the box won't fit on your shelf the same as your normal games.
Gameplay, especially multi-play, is addictive.The single player campaign has a solid story, though it feels a bit short.Like Clancy's Red Storm Rising, the Soviet Union on the verge of collapse takes a gambit to save itself from dissolution in a power grab for resources.First invading Europe, and then sneak-attacking the United States, the Soviets kick off World War III in record time - and it couldn't be more beautiful.Visuals in the game are excellent, as screenshots of mushroom clouds and daisy cutters can attest.If you have the rig to handle it, you can view real-time reflections in the water, shadows from clouds being rendered, and great use of lighting all around.The sound follows the same quality - and close-in visuals and sounds remind me of Company of Heroes, which is a good thing, though this game isn't quite as detailed close-up.Which brings me to my next point - this isn't a close up game.You have free reign of the map with your camera, so you can view anything which your team can see from anywhere, and give orders based on what you see on the ground.
Multiplayer matches are the heart of this game, 8 vs 8, and can run from 5 to 15 minutes, are fast-paced, and when the match ends the next match isn't long in coming.This keeps you occupied for hours as there is always one more strategy I want to try to see if I can turn a battle differently, or counteract the enemy in a different way.When my team took heavy losses from a mainly Air team who swooped across the map, I enjoyed building kill-groups of AA units the next game and stashing them across the map, negating the other team's free reign of the map and watching their helicopters crashing everywhere.
In closing, absent Starcraft 2 being release this year, I believe this is the RTS game of the year and definitely worth the purchase.I could go on for a lot longer about the game, but then that would delay your purchase while reading my review.Go get it!
