with Radio Stations. The difficulty varies wildly and you better bring your buddy to the story missions.
Played it for the first time, already having seen the cutscene-movie some years ago, and I was really disappointed. The boring dungeons and slow combat, the backtracking, the bland design, the unmemorable music, there really was not much fun or engagement to be had. After about 8 hours I gave up. The story: It seems I did not even get that far into it because I remember it being kind of good from the movie but nothing really interesting happened until I quit. The humor was ok I guess. It feels like a failed Final-Fantasy VII wannabe. Worst game of Ion Storm, even worse than Deus Ex 2. Better watch the movie instead. Also if you are playing on Windows 10, start it via "GCT Setup" or it will bug out a lot.
Just completed the main campaign and must say, this was the best RTS campaign in a while. There was a good background story, nice characters, interesting dynamic missions and a non-wornout scenario. Graphics and soundtrack were also to my tastes. Also the campaign is playable in coop which I sadly did not know beforehand. Yes it IS buggy (my game crashed at least 2 times in the Polania campaign, and the units bug out a lot lol) but, as it can be aggravating, it did not really disturb the whole experience. Also positively I have to say that 2 big patches came in since I bought the game. The developers seem to keep the promise of improving on the game for the forseeable future. Cannot say anything about multiplayer yet, but it is existing, while very basic (missing gamelists etc.). Since some people gave this game a 1 star for being a little buggy, I gave it 5 (except of 4) because it think this game deserves a chance from RTS-fans. It's not a new Company of Heroes, but has its own merits which make it worth a try (for example 3 diverse factions, a lot of animals and Brunhilde).
