I don't know...$20 - and all I get is a year of orgasms? I think I would have to download it first to "try it out".

You already have.

It's called your right hand.

Well, in that case then it's definitely not worth it, my left hand is much better at satisfying me.

Well, I just "ordered" the game. Hopefully it will "arrive" by tomorrow.

I got the game and after playing a bit I am afraid that my worst fears have come true - it sucks.

It's like they took everything that was good about the 2nd one and removed it in the interest of making the game simpler. The only good thing about it is that the graphics are better. If they had just re-made the old game with a new graphics engine I would have been much happier.

Ouch...
Talk about being let down...
Well... Its a good thing I didn't have much faith in the game being all the spectacular.

I didn't really have too much faith in it myself. I just really wanted it to be good, and I kind of let that blind me to the fact that it would probably be bad.
The $20 price tag should have been the first hint. They obviousally didn't spend much developing it. On the other hand I think that it could have been good even on a low budget, if they had stuck to the principals that made the first too so great. The strategic mode was always the most important part, with the real-time battles just an added bonus. It's like they got so caught up in their new 3D battle engine they forgot about everything else.

Probably... Management sells gimmicks.
