I don’t think Ensemble is trying to just market to the hardcore RTS fans though. I think they are actually trying to hit a market that sorta crosses over. Which could be very easy to do when you slap the name “Halo” on something.

It’s sad to say but console games aren’t going to be as challenging as their PC counterparts. It’s the same when comparing CivRev to Civ4 or Civ2 for that matter. But that doesn’t stop CivRev from being a good game, and a game that I dumped a tons of hours into. Ideally you can make the game as hard or as easy as you want. Maybe there will be a skull that greatly limits your resources. Sure you can beat your opponent when you can through ass-tons of Rhinos/Scorpions/etc. at them but how about when you have only a few units to control.

While I certainly don’t see it as being as challenging as Myth, I’m still interested in how the game turns out. I plan on renting it and seeing if my fiancee likes it. If she does, I’m sure we’ll by it.

Atreides FTW!!
