KKND: Krush Kill 'N Destroy

The Good
This game is fun in a lot of areas. The gameplay is that of a fairly basic rts but with some extra's to it and one of the best land battle-AI's there are. Controls are easy, the UI is the smallest I've seen in a strategy game but it does its job as good as any other interface.

For the first time ever in an rts (yep, only KKnD introduced this to the genre) will your units gain experience and become veterans which can really make a difference (especially the snipers). Other oddities like tech bunkers are also nice. It's the whole atmosphere though that makes you keep playing this game. A post-apocalyptic setting with beautiful landscapes, the right unit designs (you gotta love the Missile Crab, the Monster Truck or the 'in your face' six-heavy-missile launching Barrage Craft) and last but not least some kick-ass hard rock music complement each other in a superb way. Add to that the hilarious briefings and you have a must-buy. Even the manual is worth it with all the comical jokes in it.

The Bad
No skirmish mode, luckily this option became available in the gold edition of the game (KKnD Xtreme). The 30 campaign missions are worth the money but there should have been more things to play with in single-player.

The Bottom Line
A real-time strategy game with slightly better graphics than Red Alert, a very decent AI, a nifty soundtrack, the most comical briefings/manual you've ever seen and an innovative setting.
