    It also has horrid issues with compatability, extremely poor copy protection (securom) and bugs a plenty. I spent a good hour trawling the atari tech support sites looking for a patch to get the game working. When it did work, it was indeed a fun game but with sooooo many issues I would have to say that this should never have been released in this state.

    Strange, I did not have any problems myself! Must be something to do with your system.

    i completed the game the other day and i dont remember it looking as good as that screen shot...

    Its a good game i like'd it, altho the SP was kinda easy on the normal difficulty. I found by shere chance in how i played that there was Really easy ways to win the final levels.

    Great game but needs more campaines imo

    I got this game recently. Not quite as engaging as C&C Generals but very, very similar. Does anyone play this online?
