I don´t know how good the games is, but one thing seems certain to me: Strategy games need to redefine themselves. Other than Starcraft II and possibly Civilization 5, I can´t think of any strategy game that really is a blockbuster with the potential to make a lot of money.
On the good side, we´ll be seeing faster promotions like this and price drops on these games!
Well-reviewed my ass. This game is trash. Look at all the user reviews. Even the paid "critics" scored it much lower than the first game and for good reason. This game will appeal to someone who thinks a game like Halo Wars is a good RTS. Anyone looking for depth and complexity should go elsewhere.
