despite my very minor dissappointment with the game (check the E@W forums for more info there), it was well worth my money. i really have a funny feeling that i'm going to be addicted to this game for at least a month. meh, i'll probably be playing this game on an off and on basis for the next 5-6 months after that.

 

hope that helps. ;)

Though I don't have the game yet, I wouldn't say the demo will give an accurate representation of the full game because they made the demo so easy.
quoted for emphasis.

 

the game has quite a bit of depth to it that you don't see in the demo. still, the demo is a good way to get a feel for how the game will run on your system.

Well, if ur a fan of Rome Total War I wouldn't recomend this game... I mean, it has a great strategy depth in the sense that you need to choose you movements carefully, and I really like the way that ion cannons, bombing runs and many other special abilities are incorporated. But this game lacks the essentials of Rome Total War (stuff like flanking, etc), instead, it apeals more to the more generic type of user, more like AoE3 (clickfest). The thing I like is that you need A LOT of micro in this game, since you get a significant (like 5 time) boost when using counters. Also, if u like Rome Total War, u probably won't like the resource-collecting, since its fairly simple and dosen't have much depth to it (basically, u conquer plannets and make mines to get resources), since this game focusses mainly on action. You will get about a week of action-packed gaming that u probably wouldn't get from any other RTS, but then, if ur a hardcore RTS player, u probably will kinda burry this game and only play it ocasionnaly.

 

I kinda liked this game (dispite my comments above), but I like action-packed RTS's with lots of micro (I'm an AoE3 fan :)).

 

Well, hope I helped, ur call now.
