Wow I didn't even know much about this game at all, but as I was in my local best buy I saw the box and thought to myself what the hell is this? I checked it out and it looked kinda tight, the concept of being a card game AND a RTS in one, so I picked it up and went home and installed. This game is so amazing... Not only are the graphics spectacular , the game is actually fun, the storyline could probably be better but the co-op and single player mission are intense(co-op is 2-12 players!). This is one of those games were the missions are not easy mode, with some missions being called impossible by some people. Even on the lowest difficulty me and a friend were struggling on some missions. The PvP is intense, were games can last anywhere from a 5 min rush game to 30+min Tier 4 game, which is were it gets crazy. The card aspect adds a community aspect to the game left out of other RTS's, were you can trade, auction, and sell your cards to fellow players. The only thing I hear people complain about in the game is the fact that if you want more cards you have to buy what are known as BF points. I guess these people have never played a card game, but this is usually the case, and when you purchase the game you get 3,000 BF points, which is enough to get 14 boosters, and say your gonna go for a frost deck, then you auction off all your other cards and you'll have more then enough BF points to get more boosters/buy cards you need.
Anyways im hooked to this game, it is pretty sick. Now note im not much of a card game person, more RTS then anything, and this game is just sick in my eyes. I believe there is a trial on their website somewhere, if you wanna give it a shot, which I would suggest for anyone who enjoys RTS's whether it be for the co-op or PvP, or for the card game aspects, this game will satisfy your tastes.
