Does this game play like Killzone Liberation?

I have not purchased this game and am aware that it is in real time, but I would like to know if this game plays like the PSP title, Killzone Liberation. In that game you literally have full control of your character and you can run, take cover(animation), and have your character to somersaults to evade incoming attacks. I will consider getting it if it's like that game since it's one of its kind.

so you will have to judge for yourself.

It doesn't play like Liberation as that game is an isometric shooter. This game is a strategy game in which you control multiple units, more similar to the heros from Warcraft 3. It plays similarly to typical RTS games. Most of the interaction comes from the mouse, with the keyboard being mostly used for hotkeys.

Okay, thank you. After watching some more gameplay I realized that it's not as close as I hoped.

Syndicate Wars is in my personal top 5 games ever, and that vid shows why. I preordered it weeks before release from Game, (I recall it being about 30 quid even then), and it turned up 2 days late. But man, was it worth the wait.

Pentium 133Mhz, 4Mb Orchid Righteous 3D, 32 Mb RAM.

The intro, (though not in that vid), was great, really set the scene. The graphics were amazing, (for the time). The gameplay had me glued to my PC for weeks. The detail in the missions was amazing. But I think it was the sound that really grabbed me. Bullfrog were masters of sound in their games. From the HQ interface sound effects, to the intro, and in-mission music and sound effects/ambient sounds it was just perfect, (even then I used to turn off combat music as I felt it was a bit of a cheat so I can't comment on that).

I never finished the game as the last missions were bugged. I could do Colombo, but when I got to the space station bit I'd inexplicably spawn with inadequately crap weapons and inevitably die, (I'm convinced I read somewhere once that Molyneux wasn't happy with releasing it as it was, but was voted down). Hated that at the time, but hindsight has mellowed me.

So yeah, even though I never finished it I still have really fond memories of that game. Which is why I bought Satellite Reign.

I know there are Bullfrog veterans working on Satellite Reign, I just hope the game can stand on the shoulders of that giant and see further.
