Ballistics Report

Pros

Depth
A level of strategic depth that will give you hours and hours of challenging play.

Cool setting
A refreshing setting in terms of technology. If you are a fan of military equipment, you will find a tremendous number of real world vehicles to command.

Multiplayer
LAN/Online Multiplayer skirmish mode is as addictive as crack cocaine.

Hotseat multiplayer!
Hot Seat Multiplayer is almost as much fun as sex. Almost.



Cons

Financial difficulties
Even when controlling lots of territory, funds feel like they are merely trickling in.

What niche?
Strikes an odd balance: Casual players may be driven off by the hex-based/turn-based play, while diehard Grognards might say, “Power-ups? Are you joking?”

Missed opportunities
Political Reputation system could have had even deeper impact on play. Where is the strategic aspect to multiplayer? Why aren’t there other modes?
