Rating:  - Groundbreaking RTS
Let me start off by saying that the WW2 gaming genre has been done to death in general. However, that is not so true in the Real-Time Strategy (RTS) genre which Company of Heroes is part of. Being a WW2 game is not even what makes Company of Heroes great. The brilliance of this game is the new gameplay mechanics introduced. No longer do you have dumb units to command around the map. Company of Heroes introduces a cover system, and when your units fall under attack, they automatically move to ... Read More
Rating: - Best RTS of the decade
I've been playing this game for over a year now and it's pretty much the only one I play. I've been thinking about why exactly it's so good and different, and here's what I came up with:

Rating: - Great game.
I love this game. I tried the demo and was hooked.
It includes a great tutorial chapter, to get you comfortable with the controls and objectives. I am not an avid Real-Time-Strategy gamer, but can play this game for hours.
The most fun time-killer is the Scrimmage mode, where you set up a map, select a side vs. the computer, and go at it.
A well-balanced game, and well-supported by the developer, with many updates.
Rating:  - AI cheats in skirmish mode
I've played several RTS games out there - so I had high hopes for this one.
But let me just say this - if you play in skirmish mode (open maps vs. the computer) - you're probably not going to be able to win anything above easy - because the computer cheats.
And even in the easy mode - the computer doesn't seem to have to follow the same resource rules that you do.
Case in point - I had gotten the computer down to one low ammo resource point - yet it was able ... Read More
Rating: - Great Strategy game
