The Good
I loved the graphics, sound, music, gameplay and all of that, but what really hit me was the fact that the underlying story line was fresh and interesting. The game manual has tons of background information about the Kushan and their discovery of Hiigara. If you have the game, but ignored the manual, go read it now...if you don't have the game yet, and are an RTS/Sci-Fi fan, get it now, and RTFM. Having a story that draws you into the game makes the single-player missions even more enjoyable.

The Bad
The races aren't exactly diverse...but I'd say that's a minor concern.

The Bottom Line
Real time strategy unlike anything you've ever played before in terms of story, graphics, sound, and gameplay.
