This is a short, very short review of Max 2. I loaded it up started the first mission (there is no Tutorial) and gave order to my units to move out and head up the ramps that are designed into the map.
My units were totally lost as what to do with a simple move order. Some turned around and went the complete opposite direction then up the ramp, others could not figure out I wanted them on the ramp not moving along side the ramp on the ground beside it. Then the game keeps telling me there is not path to the area I told them to go, yet half my units headed and made it there.
Why, oh why would the people who made this game put path ways in the very first map that the game has no way to handle with its current path finding.
This first campaign felt a lot more like babysitting then playing a RTS style game. This looks like another short lived game on the hard drive.
Here is the best tip I can give; save your money for a better game; one that actually works properly.
