I, being a great fan of RTS, picked up AW since it proved valuable to my time (and the reviews were good). And sincerely there was no let-down from this game. The game immediately walks you through the game within an hour or two, and you're set to make merry and mischief. The AI can adapt to your strategy (or more like, blow your APCs and Trans copters up, but anyway) and crush you if you're not shrewd and resourceful. The campaign mode will send most people into a frenzy, looking for the forums (how do I beat that darned snifit!!) on how to beat that darned Final Battle. The War Room will test your abilities to make new decisions on new maps and under certain conditions (most of which leaving you outnumbered by sorts). You'll be playing this for hours on end, probably using pictures of snifits for dart boards. You'll keeping staring at the snifits in Mari games wondering, "how do I crack that defense??"....ahem, well, get to the Final Battle, and we'll SEE who's crazy here!
Conclusion: why are you wasting time reading my wasteful babbling...pick up the game!
