Our Review: Yes! Lay the most honourable smack down on your enemies in this excellent new strategy game from EA. Take control of a small army in this demo and learn how to contol and attack with them. A great feature of this game, which has been missing from many RTS games, is the entire army formation mode. Not only can you group 2 or 3 units and put them into formation, but you can select your entire army and choose formations like 'frontal attack' and 'right flank', etc. The control system is very easy to get to grips with, but unfortunately the camera control doesn't feature strafe keys which makes it a real(!) hassle to use. This is only an alpha demo though so you can expect big improvements in speed and graphics, etc.
