Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: Wanting at least one game for my Pocket PC, I bought this package based on reviews and awards naming it the best game currently available for PDA's. Never having played the full PC version, I can't comment how faithful an adaptation it is of the original title. However, if this was `the greatest RTS ever' that would say very little for the genre. And, if this is the best game to be expected for pocket pc's, buy a GameBoy. Technically, despite the PPC's limitations the programmers did a good job simulating detail in the characters and objects and, though moderately clumsy, navigation is acceptable. But the game itself is, unfortunately, neither interesting, challenging nor possessed of any degree of historical verisimilitude. In the absence of a competent AI, victory for the player is inevitable and obvious early in any campaign. So, the only value in playing this game is to pass time which would otherwise be spent staring absently into space. Perhaps I've been spoiled by the Dune games, Battlezone, the Total War series or any number of other resource management and historical simulation titles. And it's certainly not fair to expect the same level of sophistication in a PPC game as that found in titles for desktops, laptops or handhelds. In any case, mature players who enjoy real-time strategy, historical simulation or action gaming will not find this a worthwhile purchase.
