Command and Conquer with prettier graphics...

I was a fanatic about C&C when it came out, what, 12 or 13 years ago? So I picked this up after watching a guy playing it in the store. Looked pretty cool and worth checking out, plus it was about half the price of a normal game.

Have to say, this is like C&C for 7 year olds. Very simplistic unit/research tree, no custom grouping of troops and as far as I can tell you can pretty much just point your guys at the enemy and sit around while all the fighting 'just happens'.

The graphics look good, but it's a rare game that isn't a fine piece of eye candy these days so that's not great praise. One thing I did find pretty annoying was the inability to zoom in really close to your units. Then again with the inability and lack of need to perform any sort of micro-management I suppose there's no point for having anything beyond a bird's eye view.

Overall, pretty disappointing.
