Thumbs up Ground Control

I have to say the best strategy real time game I have EVER played was this sucker. The terrain, the soldiers, timing, and just plain thinking got you through the game. Numbers don't matter better ground does (well... unless its 50 vs. 5). I love how you can split enemy groups up and ambush them from the brush. The view of the game is also incredible as it can be aerial or zoomed in right with the soldiers. This is the key strategy game.

Re: Ground Control

I had a lot of fun just playing the demo on this one. I never picked up the retail, but now that the price is down I might.

Re: Ground Control

It's really a damn shame your forum account name isn't Major Tom.

And it's really a shame I don't know the answer to your question.

Because, if all that were true, then I could just reply with

"Ground Control II, Major Tom."

And that would be awesome.

hah! That would be hi-larry-ous.

Was the demo pretty? If so, that was ground Control 2. If not, that was ground Control.

Both are essential strategy purchases.

If you have Fileplanet access, Ground Control is a free download. You have to hunt for it, but it's there.

Re: Ground Control

Ground Control II was ruined by the uber dropship. It made the game retardo.

Best strategy game ever was Total Annihilation.
