wow i guess you should put a point scale for reviewer bias. this is a great game, original, fantastic graphics, extremely cool ideas for terraforming. neat creature and interestingly new gameplay overall. i have yet to try it mp but i'll likely do that tonite. can't be any worse than Generals. if you havent heard of it, get a copy and try it. it's a pretty damn cool game. i got this game because of the review at gamespot which too i had a hard time figuring out the math or bias, but he has a bias or slant rating.. but gamespot sums it up nicely with this. without playing mp i'd be leaning on giving it a 8.5 to a 9/10 just because it's so damn original in almost every way. Anyhow, from Gamespot.

the review i found that best described this game was here http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/perimeter.htm . i think he fairly assess the game and gives higher rewards for it's graphics/gameplay and various new additions to the rts world. i like it, it's different and new and its worth a look if you like rts games as much as i do. perhaps if u r running anything below a 5700 or something, i'd run it 1024 full detail.

I like this game, but it gets confusing and stuff.

I'd have to agree with xxx..It takes time to play this game and to fully learn the new concepts it brings. I'm still pulling my hair out from time to time, because there's so much strategy involved... Smile

for hx, i played a big mp game last night. ZERO lag in MP and was a extreme amount of fun, especially with a half of us hardly knew how to play. u mention lag?? it was so smooth i would swear i was playing single player. i was actually thinking you were right with mp since the game is pretty modern and new, but man, it was smoother than even GC 2.

And I bet you find every RTS repetitive and boring.

Too slow for action...too fast for strategy...guess what?! It's another boring real time "strategy"...spare me.
