It's exactly the same as the other C&C games, just better graphics no?
Get loads of troops, swarm the base, the end.
Is there something I'm not seeing?
Its quite different to C&C games, i think theres a lot more strategy involved, although i guess you could say its a bit beardy.

You may want to keep an eye out for Ground Control 2 then. The original, like the sequel does away with base building and resource gathering and concentrates on troop deployment and tactics. The original was a great game (You can buy if for a fiver now) and I expect the sequel to better it.
They certainly won't push your computer to it's limits, but you can't beat them for pure troop strategy commanding.
I used to love RTS games, had loads but just got really fed up with the same pattern being repeated endlessly in these games:
Gather resource, amass army, swarm base, win.
Shogun was very cool for the lack of base-rushing.
Rise worth checking out then?
Goatboy, ever tried Rise Of Nations ? Rush tactics NEVER work even at Easy Level, battles can last hours and defeating the AI takes some doing as you have to take down 2-10 cities each with defences, air cover, guards etc Graphics are not amazing, but with up to 500 things on screen at once what do you expect ?
As long as people still enjoy it, it will sell.
