The 3D aspect of this strategy game is what makes it. It's VERY challenging. Anyone ever play the old Tie Fighter game or Rogue Squadron or something for the computer? It feels like that after 10 years of computer advancements. Works wonderfully on my Macbook Pro, had no problems. Very realistic feel to it-- no cheesy intergalactic storyline. GREAT voice acting and sound effects. Solid game
"Great game with short and not fully exploited story"
I really liked this game! The music is wonderful, and the game controls are easier to use than expected. Problems: Sometimes spaceships bump on one another in an unrealistic fashion, as if they were infantry soldiers in other strategy games. AI could be improved, but it is good enough. What I did not like so much was the fact that the included campaign is relatively short (only 15 missions), and the story, which is really promising at the beginning, turns out to be disappointing and not completely developed.
I have played this game on pc sense 1999 and from day one I knew this game with it's 3D graphics and Quake engine, it's massive on line play was the best experience bar none. A game that won game of the year in 1999 was well deserved then and now has won many awards!!
"Will not work on latest Macs"

Purchased for a Macbook Pro, 2.4GHz, and was informed by Aspyr tech support that the game will not work on the latest platforms.
I feel mislead both by Aspyr and Amazon for this purchase. I'm grossly disappointed with this software. This software will NOT work on Intel-based iMacs. No fix is available, and I've repeatedly emailed Aspyr asking for one. No response. The game looks great and presuming it worked on my brand new iMac, I'd have a much different opinion. If you're using any new Intel-based Apple computers, DO NOT ORDER THIS SOFTWARE!
