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.
