I have probably put at least 50 hours, probably a lot more, into this game on the 360.

A simple, but extremely enjoyable RTS. With a foundation built on "rock paper scissors" combat, with additional complexity added with infantry, combat engineers, and artillery, and later, their special abilities.
Additionally, there is destructible buildings, and destroyed vehicles don't despawn, and can be used as cover, allowing for pretty dynamic infantry usage.
It is an older game, that was made for the Xbox 360 / PS3. so the graphics aren't great, but good art direction keeps them from being ugly. Additionally, due to what I assume were engine constraints, you can't get the fully fidelity "god's eye view" that most RTS games use, but you can get a reduced polygon, monochrome god's eye view if you bring in a command tank.
The single player campaign is pretty solid, the AI isn't great, but not horrifically bad. And, for extra points, its dynamic, which aids in replayability. As far as I can tell the online is dead, which shouldn't be a surprise, this is a 13 year old Upisoft game. No Uplay though, which is nice.

Probably one of the most approachable RTS games out there, but pretty enjoyable for a genre veteran as well.
