Editor review : The best RTS?

This is a difficult game to review. Partially due to the high specifications needed to run this game on an Amiga (this will work on WinUAE if the installation goes right)and partially due to RTS's on other formats.

This is by far the best RTS on the Amiga in every aspect. It starts off with a wonderfull cinematic intro movie (probably the best i've seen on the Amiga) and continues with some superb graphics throughout the game. The sound is crisp and clean and the gameplay is easy to get into.
The problem comes in the fact that by any other systems standards this is a average Command and Conquer clone. The best ever on the Amiga but still average.

There are 3 levels of difficulty and the standard 2 sides (Earth vs Aliens) and many different missions. You can play against someone else across a LAN network but I've not tried this so it's i don't know how easy/good this is.

Overall I would say if you have a very high end Amiga or use UAE and would like to see what a high end Amiga can do then buy this.
