Demo is coming thursday but tbh after that video all i care for is the controls, if..like they claim they've managed to make a RTS comfortable on a console then I'm sold. The demo from what I've heard is a bit shallow, which isn't a surprise as the more you play a RTS the more you unlock the deeper it becomes, a demo wont do it justice in that area.

That video has me sold though, looks like the old AOE makers will be closing on a high note.

I really like the control. They really are cimple and easy to use.

I honestly wasn't expecting it really to be that fun, but it is. I thought the way they had resourced set up was gonna crappy, but it actually works quite well. It seems that although this game lacks the hugeness that other RTS's have, it seems to make up for it somehow, in a way I can't seem to explain.

Overall, I thought it was a good demo and I cant wait to play some MP when this comes out.

Haven't played the demo yet, but the videos look OK.

I don't think ill buy another console RTS unless I know it's good.

Armwrestle you for it?

I loved the demo, and skirmish mode was awesome. I can't wait for the real thing.

Preorder it from Game for the British and you get a flaming warthog to zoom about with in game. ;]

Or you can buy the limited edition for £45 on play over that rip off that is Game with there £50 mark up. :roll:

You get a special wrath tank unit with that instead of the flaming warthog though. You also get 3 halo 3 maps so ya, worth it if your playing H3.

Put my preorder down the otherday. TBH though your better off buying from play/hmv game prices are dropping but Game seem to refuse to accept that.

Putting my pre order down on Play.com I reckon, although, what the hell is the point in the embroidered patch? Bloody waste of time.

Yeah the LE is a bit of a jip if you ask me, unless your like me and have a weird obsession with shiney cold metal cases. Mostly because the only stuff in it worth getting is the case/the maps and the special unit. The maps however are being bundled in with Halo: ODST so if you plan on buying that..well it sorta makes the LE a little more worthless.

Still went with the LE tho, like i said I'm a sucker for the cases. :oops:
