May at some point become a good game.
What Petroglyph has put out here is what I would consider a good foundation for an old school RTS in the style of C&C (no surprise there, they have some of the old Westwood people on the team). The problem is with the word "foundation". Because that's it, and nothing more. It's just enough to escape the demo verdict, but not by much. Nothing left of the cheesy but iconic FMVs and dialogues from the old C&C games, no memorable characters (actually, NO characters whatsoever). There is one single faction, and it's about as generic and bland as it could possibly be. From the people who designed Mammoth tanks, Tesla coils, Obelisks of Light and the Hand of Nod, I expect more than this, a LOT more. This is clearly not a finished product, and the fact that Petroglyph decided to release it in its current stage is worrying to me, because the only reason to release in such a state is if you need a cash injection RIGHT NOW. So...with all this being said, why does it still get three stars? Well, the mechanics are solid, there are a couple of quality of life improvements compared to the classic C&C titles, Frank Klepacki's soundtrack is good (although that's hardly worth mentioning, that's like mentioning that the tide will continue to go in and out) and I dearly, dearly hope that they make something worthwhile out of this in the future. But at a time when you can just download OpenRA for free, I can't really recommend spending money on this. Not yet, anyway - unfortunately.
Hilft dir das weiter?
