As most people have already noted, the single player of this game is fantastic; one of the only games I have ever found genuinely funny, the gameplay is fantastic throughout, offering both a solid pure 3rd action engine and also incredibly entertaining RTS-light base defense. However, what makes this quite possibly my favorite game of all time was the multiplayer; through mastering rocket/grenade/mine jumps, this game offered aerial combat unlike anything I have seen before or since, and when combined with the aforementioned RTS elements made for a consistently exciting, fluid experience. A must buy for the single-player alone, but if you can get a few friends together to play a mecc on mecc combat it becomes another game entirely.
