Yes had it for a few weeks and it is awesome!!!
Thing is I just recently started playing RTS games. So I am a noob at playing them but this one is great, the graphics and sound are amazing.

And it is hard even on easy settings (of course this my be the noob in me).

There is already a small update for it, but this one appears promising for a long life span ;)

Another one that is fun is Rush for Berlin and I notice that Faces of War and Joint Task Force are now also out.

I heard it's supposed to be really good, but I'm a bit burned out on RTS games for now.  I might give it a try sometime when I''ve got a bit more time and money. ;)

Read through it, then if you like what it is, buy buy buy! I personally are waiting for Crysis, fsX, and bf2142.

The thing I can't get over is the amont of detail it shows compared to the other RTS games i have (Rush for Berlin, AoE3) you can move your camera angle to ground level and zoom in and out which I find you can't do in other similar games, something to see when you toss a granade into a group of enemy and zoom in to get a closer look at the impending detnation, or you light up a front line with a flame thrower.

Alsmost disturbing to think that this is "fun".

Imperial Glory and Empire Earth both allow you to do that. Pity they didn't decide to include it into AoE3. What I wish they would do in games like that though is enable you to look straight down. Would be so much easier for deployment and movement.
