I actually found myself going back and replaying some of the scenarios, I enjoyed them that much. There are 33 different missions, which gave me hours of fun.

Graphically, this game is state-of-the-art. The buildings, tanks, and aircraft are all rendered very well, and for once, the tanks actually look like they should.

While it doesn’t really innovate the genre any, the story for this game really pushes the players to continue playing so they can see what happens in the end. The real-time cutscenes are a terrific addition, even though the acting was on the lame side.
