I played this game back in 95' when it first came out and loved every second of it. I would highly recommend to buy this one on sale. Unfortunately, the user interface and menus do not hold the same nostalgia as the old one did.

Although this "new" version of the game sort of kills the nostalgia for me, it still delivers the game I knew back in the day. The menu went from looking like a war game to a kids game (my biggest issue so far besides multiplayer missing). The cut scenes alone in the campaign make this game worth it. The cut scenes were outrageous back in the day and were using language not known to many. Getting yelled at by Zod constantly will bring players back to watch more scenes.

The actual gameplay consists of an RTS territory capture sort of game. Certain territories allow for buildings to be capture which produce either vehicles or units. Vehicles and sometimes gun turrets are by territory capture flags that definitely the player wants to get to first before the computer does. The more territory a player owns, the quicker their units build. The point of the game is to destroy the enemies fortress. These fortress themselves build units but are limited in what they can manufacture. They may add defensive turrets (gatling or rocket) to bolster defense. More manufacturing options open up as the player progresses. There are robot and vehicle type units. Some robot units include grunts, psychos (rapid weapon firing) and a sniper unit. Vehicle units range from jeeps, light tanks to heavy tanks. Some maps will have jeeps and tanks placed around certain territories. Robot units must enter these vehicles whereas a unit is manufactured to drive the vehicle at the depot. Buildings cannot be placed freely in this game!

I would say buy on sale as it is an oldie and it's definitely worth the cutscenes and the gameplay (on sale may I add)! Back in the day, this game would easily deserve a rating of 8! Due to it's age and this dumb concept of porting it from the iPad :


RATING : 6.7/10
