The same classic, boring, mindless formula we've come to expect.
The Good
Again, Westwood's classic RTS formula of harvest resources, build units, upgrade units, attack (repeat ad nauseum). I guess I kind of enjoyed the original Dune 2 and Warcraft 1 and 2. I guess I should try and like this game too.
The Bad
But why? The formula continued in Command and Conquer and Warcraft 2. And then in this game and Starcraft. And after this game, you saw it again and again in countless RTS games, the most unimaginative of the lot being the C&C games. Oh give it a rest already.
The Bottom Line
Boring!
