Game play is fantastic. Units are fun and varied. Races play very differently. Graphics look great... but where is the rest of it... No story line. No escalation of challenge or reward units. Just a random 'here's a map, beat the other guys. Then start again.' The game play part is the hard bit and the developers nailed it... then didn't bother with the part that turns a game from 5 hours of fun into 3 weeks of play time. Of course you could extend that 5hrs a bit by buying some DLC's.
