What we said about it:
It's kind of nice to play an RTS that has goals other than "build more crap than the other guy and overwhelm him with sheer numbers." The story, which is set in the North African, Mediterranean, and Balkan theaters of World War II, is told through a number of well-scripted cutscenes. There's a neat grain filter applied to the video that gives it an old-fashioned, shot with a cheap camera look. It really does wonders for the atmosphere in the game. I won't lie and say that you'll actually feel like you're in WWII, but it does give the game a deft touch. The cutscenes give you context for your mission, so that you aren't just destroying everything on the map for no real reason. Your hero characters aren't just cookie-cutter commandos, either. They have nicely detailed histories, and even unique motivations.
