R.U.S.E beta

I just dled this last night and here is my opinion of the game.

It is a ww2 game with a chess style play without taking turns. The map can be as close to the ground as you want to see the players and as far as to see the whole battlefield at one time. It is a lot of fun but the graphics are very choppy/don’t run smoothly even if you turn everything down or everything up.

The way to run your campaign is very simple build units and supply depots. Usually the more bombers and fighters you have the easier it is to win.

I don’t know how to phrase this: the cost of units is equal to the money received if you pay attention to supply depots…lol

Almost every unit is upgradeable and that really helps if you are playing against an inexperienced player.

The way to purchase units is very nice by clicking your HQ a drop screen comes down with several different icons, each icon depicts either buildings, armory, barracks, anti-tank, anti-aircraft, aircraft, and RUSE. (I may be missing one or 2)

RUSE is a really cool premise, this is where you can do something to your units to make them faster or make the building invisible or send out decoys… there are several other options as well.

All in all I thought it was a decent game with a cool interface, however if its more then $25-$30 its not worth the buy.

PS. First review of a game so sorry if I was all over the place.
