VERY DISAPPOINTED

For those of us who like FPS games such as Call Of Duty, you will be VERY disappointed at this game. It is played in the "third person" mode. You tell groups of squads what to do, then you sit back and watch them do it. You have no control after that. Same with tanks, planes, etc. The soldiers are so small you can hardly see them on your screen. No real interactive playing like Call of Duty. When you choose weapons, they are so small, the soldiers could be holding a baseball bat and you would never know it. If you HAVE to buy this game, at least wait until it goes on sale, or you are throwing your money away! This game is so bad, I'm giving it to the first person who will take it.

RIP OFF

THIS GAME IS A WASTE OF MONEY. I'VE READ THE OTHER REVIEWS ON AMAZON. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. THE DECEPTIVE ADVERTISMENT ON TV OF THIS GAME IS UNREAL. THE GRAPHICS ARE TERRIBLE (YOU BUILD A STRUCTURE AND IT SHOWS UP AS A WALLED DIRT MOUND), THE MEN YOU CONTROL ARE JUST BLUE AND RED CIRCLES. I'M USE TO GAMES LIKE (LORD OF THE RINGS) WHERE YOU CAN AT LEAST SEE THE MEN YOU CONTROL AND WHAT THEIR DOING. I'VE BOUGHT MY LAST GAME FROM (THQ/RELIC). I'LL ADMIT THAT I DON'T HAVE TOP OF THE LINE EQUIPMENT FOR GAMING BUT IT WORKS GREAT FOR THE GAME I'VE TRIED. I'LL STICK WITH ACITVISION AND EA GAMES.

Fraught with BUGS

The ingame movies are fantastic! The actual gameplay is very challenging. However, Relic does not support their product. Instead it is supported through volunteers that run the Relic Forum. And you will need support because the game has many issues.
If you want to spend alot of money on a game and incessantly tweak your computer till it works, then this is the game for you. It is great when it works.

sucks

Don't get caught up in the hype. It's a loser's version of warhammer 40,000. Only two army's to choose from and AI that predictable. The game increases the enemy's abilities to beat you. Including speed, fire power and resources. Not much fun. Stupid game.

Not a first person shooter, deceptive artwork on case to make you think it is. Strategy game, found it boring.I like strategy games.Cheesy graphics.Soldiers or "units" are symbols not charecters.Terrain is simplistic.Game of the year? What a joke.

boring

Company of Zeros The Shame of The Year.

This Game does not diserve game of the year. Plus don't believe these other reviews. I am so tired of game develpers writing reviews for there own game. You are being betrayed. Relic is paying off to there horrible games to have game of the year. They all should be Shame of the Year because they ar BOOOOOOORING.

Factions: Only 2 boring factions that have a lack of units. Plus They both look exactly the same.

Insane Profanity: They always say the F word and it is so annoying. They will just not stop swearing.

Zoom Feature: Sure there is a Zoom Feature. Which is the ONLY Reason why this game got game of the year. Because they have a pretty little zooming feature which you rarly use and is distracting in battle. That is why Dawn of war and Homeworld got game of the year.

I liked the covering feaure but this game just isn't fun or creative. I would go with Command and Conquer 3 if you Want FUN and CREATIVITY!

Great Game Single Player, Multiplayer is AWFUL

I agree with most everything folks have said about this game -- you can only play Allied in campaign game and not having an axis option is disappointing. Once you play campaign game, the skirmish mode is fun to but you can easily beat the AI.

Now go multiplayer. The Relic servers are located on the moon and my performance bar indicator never got above one out of five bars (Columbus, Ohio here). Next, you have the option of connecting to an existing game or Play Now automatch function where the system matches you up to another player or team. Connecting to an existing game results in a "Cannot connect with other players" error about 75% of the time. I know, check the forum boards to find out system problems...open ports, firewalls, blah, blah, blah. I've played dozens of online games with and without firewalls and routers and the bottom line is the good games don't give you such grief. Automatch function is poorly designed and you end up waiting five minutes or more to actually get a match. Then, when you're in a match, the game keeps track of your stats..a nice feature, right? WRONG! Whenever your opponent leaves abruptly, they get a loss and you get locked up. If you leave, YOU get the loss. I've played about 40 matches, won 6 and lost the rest, mostly because people bail just before they lose completely. If you buy this expecting decent online play, SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Too Complicated

This is a strategy game not a shooter game. One has to accomplish tasks to continue to move to the next level. There is no saving the game where you are at. If you fail to accomplish the task, you have to start over at the level. I am stuck at a level that is about one-half way through the game. I have tried to accomplish the task 5 or 6 times and can't seem to do it. Frankly, it seems impossible without some "trick", which I don't know. But, what is the point of that? I thought this would just be "fun". This game is not fun.

Game starts out strong and then becomes stupid

Very cool graphics and all that.

However, it falls victim to the same thing EVERY single RTS I have ever seen does: the creators start making the game insanely difficult to the point of you either buy their Game Strategy Guide (cha-ching), find some cheat codes, or give up on the game.

*sigh* I had some high hopes but alas... typical RTS game.
