How it feels
A fast-paced, high-stakes real-time strategy game that feels like directing a modern military thriller.

What players say
Players praise the 15-hour single-player campaign with live-action cutscenes, but they split on the story: some enjoy its over-the-top patriotism and oil-war plot, while others call it cheesy. Late missions spike in difficulty, and the lack of a pause button bothers some.
