"That's Incredible!! It's one of the best RTS games ever!"
Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
Pros
It's a really immersive RTS. Using the Relic Essence engine and Havoc realistic physic this game is amazing!
Starting from the D-Day you command squads of infantry and tanks through the nazist lines.You have to conquer and defend strategic points (like roads and bridges),ammunition and fuel points. Each of these points extends your control zone,where you can reinforce your troops and establish your base.
Environment is real like no ever.You can take cover under a wall or a tree,but Panzers can destroy them.You can also refuge into bomb craters or besides crashed tanks the battle leaves along the game.In few words,the battlefield changes as you play and you must change your strategy to achieve mission objectives.
Each of the two parties has different and specialized units like snipers,grenadiers,anti-tanks and assault troops and many vehicles.
Scenaries are very realistic and your involvement into the battle is total!
Cons
It has very high requirements and takes long to load.
Nothing else.

"Pretty good game"
Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
Pros
For a over head view game it's pretty good lots of different tactics.graphic are great
Cons
This game has very good graphics and to enjoy that you need a good video card. I have a 5200 Nvidia I set all my setting to low but it still got a little choppy when there was alot of bombs going off. So many tactics that it's hard to remember what's what. All and all it's ok for a gamer wanting to try to games...OH yeah file is a huge download it took me like 6 hours or so on DSL so don't get in too big of a hurry to play it right off the bad.

"Awesome Game!!!"
Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
Pros
the battles are never the same, they definitely change from fight to fight, even the smallest move, the slighest strategy change can change the battle. Take it from someone who Beta Tested it, the Multiplayer asepct is just that much better.
Cons
sometimes the degree of micro-managing can be a bit over whelming, especially if it's not something you enjoy to do

"FANTASTIC!"
Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
Pros
When it comes to RTS, this is the best at it. The game is based on World War II and is very good at making all units perfect. The graphics and sounds effects are so fenominal.. Its well worth the $50 and the download! There are no bugs for all users so no patches! The construction is well like Command and Conquer.. C&C couldnt compete World War II with this game even if they wanted to! I recommend all users to use ATI graphics cards due to their graphics card are a lot better for these games. It has no airforce or naval fighting but its the best ground war game you can think of. if you want better explanations or screenshots email me at firelord101@sbcglobal.net
Cons
there are no bad things! its fantastic.. only thing is the file size and graphics requirements!

"Superb"
Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
Pros
The combat reminds me of Brothers in Arms, except this is RTS and you control more units at once.
There's base construction which is a mix between the cliched RTS style with alot of military-esque additions.. such as building sandbag defenses, entering civillian buildings and converting them into a base of operations. And this is just the Skirmish part of the game.
The Campaign is where this game owns. Think Saving Private Ryan. You start off at the beaches of D-Day and you make your way up the heavily fortified cliffs taking out machineguns, buildings and finally ending up near the artillery. This could probably last you an hour or two. The second mission is where you defend a town which is another hour or two of great fun.
The graphics are great. The sounds are great. I can honestly say that this game is more immersifying than WWII first-person-shooters and it doesn't even have to put you "inside the action."
Cons
It's a large file and it takes a while to setup, so make sure you have enough free space on your HD before you install.
You will need a nice graphics card to get the most out of this game (Believe me it has very good graphics). But if you don't, you can still tune down the settings and enjoy it just the same.

"This demo rocks. It is intuitive, fast and furiously fun!!!"
Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
Pros
The graphics are very realistic. Explosions look like explosions, not graphics. With the short but well-designed cinematics, you feel like you're there.
Cons
The easy-to-learn / use interface is intuitive and simple. With the depth of the game, that is a big plus. Can't wait for the release.

It's only pathetic 2 levels, and the file is bloody big. But hey, what are demos for.
