Being a big fan of the original HW1 I was very exited when this was announced, and I admit that graphically the remake is great! However if you expected a remastering of HW1 and HW2 you were disappointed. It was a remake of the HW2 engine and they tried to cram the HW1 game into this. But after a year and a half they finally patched it all and they fixed almost everything the community was complaining about. There are still subtle differences but they are no longer game breakers for most veterans. And you can experience the real/original game play of HW1 and HW2 with the classic versions that are included. This is really a must play if you like RTS games. The fans of yore can replay the classics on modern OS now (if they are still bothered with some of the changes), and the new players get to experience what is probably the greatest space opera RTS game ever made. This is remake of classic game of 1999, so do not expect to be handheld like modern games tend to do. It will take a while before you get the hang of it and you will need to spend a fair amount of time in discovering the different tactics you will need to apply to make progress in this game. But, oh boy, is it worth it...
