I have played this game when it first came out and immediately fell in love with it. None of the newer titles can compare to it.
There is ground, naval and aerial warfare, special operations with your infiltrators, quite fun base building and even an OK storyline (bit cheesy though).
The best part is, of course, that this is turn-based. Despite myriad of options, ability to upgrade your units, units gaining experience, and having hundreds of units at your command it will never turn itself into dumb click-fest or a rush game. Winning requires strategical planning and thinking many turns in advance.
For more impatient players there is simultaneous turn-based mode. Each turn all players move at the same time, but once the action points of units are gone all the players have to proceed to next turn.
Another great feature is the hot-seat gameplay. You don't even need a lan to play this against your roomies!
I recommend this game to everyone who enjoys thinking and planning more than clicking. Big booms included :)
