Possibly one of my all-time favorite games. I have bought this game 3 times by now, for one reason or another. The story is rather unique and the setting you find yourself in is like few others I have ever seen. The fact that this game came out in the age of giant PC game boxes and has continued to be sold non-stop even up until today is saying something in and of itself. However, the feel of the game and its re-playability have been key reasons for why I just keep coming back to it. From the ability to hot-seat from the carrier that houses your brain (which if you try to look around in some of the internal views, you might catch a glimps of) to any one of your combat vehicals, it offers multitudes of ways to experience each of the unique levels. Even the pilots' AI's are differnt in their appoch to how they handel each type of vehical. Be it hellicopter, hovercraft, tank, or buggy; as well as what they will do in combat... even their prefered weapons can become something of a deciding factor from one fight to the next depending on the enemies they are facing and who is on their wing. Compared to most modern feel-alikes, the part that stands out most for me is the ease with which you can command your forces in the field be it from the live interface or the tactical map. The only down side I could think of is the one mission where stealth is required, where in you fail if your forces are detected before a particular objective is completed. Thankfully its only one mission and after you finish it, you never need worry about it again. If any other levels give you trouble, feel free to ask for tips or tricks. By now I more or less know them all.
