I purchased this award winning strategy game via Mighty Ape a while back,
and I enjoyed every minute of it. The original is based around three enemy
factions fighting for control of the universe, and the expansion features a new
race seeking control, known as the seraphim. I really liked how if you got
stuck on the original campaign, you could play the expansion one, and
vice versa.
The graphics were excellent and sharp, and the movement of on-screen units
was seamless. The control system was set out in an easy-to-use way, which is
very important. There are three races in the original, four in the expansion,
all of which have their own unique units and attributes. There is also a huge
selection of highly detailed maps of many varying sizes in which you can battle
to the death with your enimies. Online play was yet another great feature in an
already awesome game, where you can team up with your friends and conquer great
armies, or turn on each other and fight it out.
Over all, this is a great game at a great price, and I would highly
reccomend it to anyone who has played games such as Age of Empires,
Civilization, Empire Earth etc. THQ have outdone themselves once again!
