I’d strangle the monitor if I
could:
Normally I would tell you something good
about the gameplay before the bad but this is so severe I have to do it the other way
around. Ok here’s the problem, the units in this game have NO I.Q. at all, none, the 
A.I. programmer should be shot. Now
as you should know by now, I play alot of RTS games (well, all of them really) and never
have I come across such stupid units. Quick example, I have three tanks, two in front of
the third, I tell the third tank to drive in front of the front two. He proceeds to drive
forwards and bumps into one of the tanks and stops, he then turns 90 degrees to the left,
drives forward a bit, then turns 90 degrees to the right and bumps into the other tank.
Now what do you think happens next, does the other tank move, does he drive around it,
nope he turns the other way until he drives into the back of the first tank, and then
repeats what he just did. Now that is dumb, and to add insult to injury, imagine what will
happen when it comes to the famous bridge problem, oh God no. Beyond the A.I problem (the
severe lack of it) other problems include the time it takes to actually complete a level,
and the stupid absence of cash. You have such a pitiful amount of money that most missions
become impossible thanks to it (I used a trainer so that I could get further than mission
eight I believe.) Not all is bad though, the units are good, the game runs at a nice pace
and it does have a strange pull to it, if only to see what cool units you get next.
However it also employs the annoying ploy of the computer always being technologically
ahead of you. Multiplayer functions are included but my only experience of this is on the
playstation (which was 
splitscreen)
so I can’t say how the game will be over a network however I would assume that it
should be fun due to the units. Final function of note though is the most important unit
of the game, which must be mentioned. The Hacker is an extremely useful unit, not only is
he the source of your income but place him into a command centre and he can improve your
units firepower, armour etc aswell as downgrade your enemies, very useful and sneaky too
(hint always try to build six hackers and put them into a command centre as soon as
possible.)
