I was just playing the demo of this game (came with an issue of PC Games), and let me just say, it's great.
Camera control was the first thing I noticed. You can swivel it 360 degrees, as well as zoom in and out, anytime. It plays very similar to Starcraft, controlling squads of marines to fight orcs (like in Warcraft). Rather than destroying enemies being the primary focus, you must capture "strategic points" in order to increase your control zone. Very simple and easy to control game play (I picked it up in a couple of minutes). I'd recommend it to any Warcraft/Starcraft fan.
Anyone else played it?

Actual 3D, and apparantly you need a decond 3D card to run it.
The intro along is worth getting this game, it's about 2 minutes long of the human forces fighting orcs, a little gorry, but looks great none the less.
Top game.

I've played it and finished it.
Sure, they use the in-game motor to make movies, but otherwise it's nothing special with it.
Well, except that each unit has different finishers. >=D
Maybe 10 more levels would do, 12 is too short for a game.
Oh yeah, and expansion is coming soon.
Might have been released already, what do i know.
I give it 6/10
