I enjoyed this game. It was a real challenge to get 3 stars on every level and I like a challenging game. If it's hot graphics and storyline you are after then this is not a game for you - personally I find storylines annoying so it's absence was appreciated.
It's okay but it's not a game I will remember nor is it a game I will play again.
This game just lacks something.
It's not very hard (even in extreme mode), you can follow the same build pattern for each level and you'll always finish in time. You just don't need to think or plan very much.
The constant "clicking noises" because you constantly have to click on something are a bit annoying.
I'm half way through extreme mode with a platinum star for every level and have not had to replay a level. I can't be bothered to complete this game, it's just too dull.
I liked the graphics. The game play is good. The series was getting tired and this new game does wake it up again. That said it didn't take very long to get gold for all the levels and all the awards. It's made too easy by having almost limitless boosters, I finished the game with over 300 boosters left!
Yes it's challenging but that's a good thing. I find games where you can get gold first time dull so I like this game because it's a bit hard in places.
Sometimes it does take you a while to work out what you need to do but if you don't like being spoon fed your answers then this is a good game for you.
I like to combination of defeating enemies, building and collecting resources. I'd buy a second edition if and when it comes out.
