This game is one of the greats.
I bought this game when it originally came out. I still keep it on my low end laptops for when I need something good to play when I am away from home.
Its a damn shame is has no multiplayer. It would truely have been great if it could be played online against. It would rival the likes of Counterstrike and battlefield 1942 in playability and popularity. With user content, this game could easily have been one of the all time best games ever made in the genre, if not one of the better games ever made altogether.
It gets very difficult later on in the story. I have completed this game, but it requires a logical cap and strategical thinking to beat those wiley enemy AI. Don't underestimate the power of repair scarabs. You are better off with more scrap than firepower. No amount of armour plating will save you if you don't have dual repping scarabs (to look after each other0 and a foraging scarab running all the time to keep those creation engines pumping.
Personally i think the war interface is very easy to use and the story is very realistic. I certainly see parts of the technology mentioned already available to government organisations and the more powerful commericial entities out there. The storyline is not that far out of what is possible in a few years time.
Do no miss out. For a fiver you have to try it. Else look out for it at a carboot sale.
Brilliant Game. You will never get bored of trying new ways to beat the game.. long as u leave it at least 6 monthsapart after each complete. I ill be playing this for as long as Windows is compatiable.
