If you Love StarCraft, you will like this game alot! Very similar, click on character repeatedly and get funny saying out of them, build up forces and technology and wipe out the opposition. Mainly a fight for resources to build your forces up and attack the other guy like StarCraft,it is challenging to find the right combiation of forces to defeat heavy units of both sides. Good storyline, Not as many missions as StarCraft but fun anyway, game editor to create new games and online multiplayer capability.
Only 2 species, Human and Robot (if robot can be considered a species?) but the combined missions are fun as you may decide to sacrifice one force to keep the other. ADVICE: Air Units take out heavy ground forces, antiair ground units take out air forces, you need both to survive. Technology is fun, but a quick strike with massive ground units can take out anyone, unless you wait too long and their defenses can beat your puny tech units. For the Price, you can't beat it for strategy fun!
