I have to say, I wasn't too psyched about this game when it first came out. I was never a big fan of strategy games. But, when my friend told me how good it was, I had to play it. Let's start off with the story. I give it a 5 out of 5. It's very original. It's one of those classic "What it..." games, much like the new FPS for PC, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. It gives you the message: don't f**k with mother Russia. Graphics: Definitly a 5. These are the best graphics I've seen for a strategy game so far. Controls: 4.75. The controls are the classic "left click to select, right click to kill". The keyboard controls are a little complicated. For artillery to fire on the ground, press F. I tryed that, and it just disselects the units I want to use. I might just be doing something wrong. Sound: 5. Crystal clear sound. Great explosions. Replay value: 4.5. This game never really gets boring. With 3 different difficulty's, you can never stop. Everything you do affects the gameplay. Say one of your secondary objectives is to kill a Soviet scout squad. You could do that,and get a bonus to help you. Or, you could focus on your main objective, get scolded, and have fire support momentarily taken away to kill the Soviets by the general. All in all, this is a highly awesome game. If you're looking to buy a new RTS game, pick this up at your local Gamestop for about $40.
