Great graphics, easy interface, but a bit disappointing... (2008-11-15)
This was an impulse buy went wrong. I admit that I was taken in by the flashy box cover and screen shots, but in the end, it just didn't deliver that much. The graphics are great, and the interface is easy to learn, but even on "easy" the missions seem very difficult and unreal. The AI always has an unrealistic advantage, and even with all the patches installed, it seems there is a glitch getting the game to recognize when you have actually achieved an objective. This is very much like the great BLITZKRIEG! family of games, and if you have them, you don't need this.
Not as good as old sudden strikes (2008-07-15)
I waited a long time for this game and it just doesnt live up to the older sudden strikes. Every board is the same, the enemy keeps attacking until the end of the board with no real chance to build your forces even when playing on easy. Big disappointment.
