Version: Company of Heroes single-player demo
"Superb"
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.
