Check your grammar and spelling, and avoid using the same phrases repeatedly. Generally speaking, sentences shouldn't start with a conjunction (And, but, or, etc.) Your sound and music scores indicate that they are more like a 5 or 6 rather than an 8; 8 is really good in my view (unless you view it more as a B-, but I don't like letter grade scales for games).
I think the review as a whole could use more depth. You talk about the sides and say that they're really quite similar, but then your descriptions make them sound rather dissimilar. What about in comparison to other RTS games - how do you procure resources, how do you "screw-up the economy", and who would really go for this game? Basically, is it as good as something like Company of Heroes? If not, why not? (Also, don't speculate about DX10 until the patch arrives - I'd almost level a criticism at the game and say they should have either put it in at the start).
Finally, the common problem of using first person comes up. Just ditch it and pretend like you're already part of the FS staff and are writing with them. You can also try to just avoid use of pronouns in general. I'd move your system recommendations to later, and probably some screen shots would be good showing how the various settings affect the game. Let us also know what sort of system you used to play the game, so we know where you're coming from. If you haven't actually played it on lesser PCs, don't give recommendations for what *ought* to work.» Login to reply to this

| | This is one of my first reviews and I hope you like it. I tend to prefer writing stories, amusing fictional articles and argumentive articles. Reviews are not my strength so I hope to improve. Please give me feedback on my article but also give me your opinions on SupCom. » Login to reply to this FootSoulJah (20) Mar 05, 2007 - 02:48 am
| mmm... Finally a review on this pwnage of a game =]
Using Dual Monitors for this game is a pain cause you can't scroll to left or right or whatever anymore with the mouse...
This game really does need high specs. The 8800GTX even lags when their's over 1000 units flying everywhere getting blown up and stuff...
My opinion of this game
Pros - Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Hardcore RTS, Much more Innovative, A good new step for RTS
Cons - Requires very High Specs, Sound is a bit poor, Very long Learning Curve, Very Long Battles, Very slow and quite boring at the start, An ok Story, Feels like Total Annihilation with a few extra features and better graphics
I'd give it an 8.5/10 =]
I played the CnC3 Demo and I rather play this then it tbh. I will get CnC3 though, gotta love the live action cut scenes
Well you look like you gave it a bit of time reviewing this so it's ok I guess.
You didn't also do that thing where you rate graphics sound gameplay etc like most reviewers do.
Anyway wanna play me online lol...» Login to reply to this
