What players say
very fun game, always loved the original and this one is just that but better and 3d peak
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Well it is not as good as the first game but worth a buy under 2$. Still fun to see in the 3d perspective. Like many reviewers are saying you don't see the whole map like first game just part of it which some players may dislike. My main complaint on the other hand is the terran not being flat and hard to walk on. Indeed it is not has smooth just walking on trees or over mountainous terrain. Feels like the character...
Bought this hoping it was like the first one. Only playing a few hours im glad i only paid $2cad for it. Its nowhere near as enjoyable, the map focus areas are annoying, the game itself is nicely polished but i feel to call this a sequel it missed all the marks.
