Yawn
I love the Retro vs Nextgen idea, but somewhere along the line it all fell to bits.
Needs more work to make it exciting enough to play.

I love the concept of console wars and I love RTS games. So whhy didn;t this one work for me? Let me tell you it lies on a knife's edge. Just a few things would have pushed it to an 8 or so. The game play is still very awkward. For a while I was trying to figure out when I get my real fighting units. I only got in about four levels or so before I quit trying but I got real sick of pacman real quick. And the light cycle is brilliant. But it only does two things really, and very fast. Move and die. Good for a scout was about all I could do with it. And that's it. I couldn't build more.
I found the towers to be useless. The jets were just flying right by a bank of 4 of them and going straight to my base. So I had to kep the pac-men BEHIND my lines until I figured they ran out of units.
The lack of new units, upgradeability, units that just didn't seem to work, overpowered orwellian tripods and no real feel of strategy made this game that can be so good, so not good. I wouldn't call it bad because I think it has legs and future adaptations better thought through will be much more fun. Don't give up on it (if it is original. I didn't check but people seem to be pissed). with refinement I think you will eventually have a winner.
Urgh...
FATAL FLAW ALERT:
You can't make more Tetrominers! SUCK. How are you supposed to get more money if you can't make Tetrominers?
Also, power packs should NOT, and I repeat, NOT take power to build. Why should they? All RTS games must allow you to build your force from scratch. All of them.
You should be able to make power packs without power, make more tetrominers, and there must be a building and unit tree. There should never be an impassible divide in your climb to power in an RTS game. You should be able to start over completely if you ever have to. There should not be an unbuildable requiem for your army. No units that are required to win should ever be impossible to build in any way, case, or time.
On the plus side, the game was rather fun, the sound was great, but due to all the things that this game lacks that should be in RTS games, I give it a 5/10.
No i don't want to give you my email
this game was confusing but nice concept, and the constant advertising to give you my email was annoying
