Alright I own it and I've put in some serious time with the Single Player "Campaign" not the free form sandbox strategy part. Heres what I have to say...

First let me address the AI... yes the Walrus AI stinks. Sending one to a point isn't bad but if you group them up they do the honey bee dance around eachother for 15 minutes before they get sorted IF they get sorted. Some of it can be avoided by just controlling the lead walrus yourself and drive to the destination the others just sort of manage to tag along but barely if a rock jumps out in the road you'll lose one.

The FPS sections of the game are done so poorly well... I don't even know why they are in the game frankly. You character runs SUPER FAST you can't use cover but hell you don't need to you can just run full speed through the level and shoot everything and it dies and it can't hurt you. Its really pathetic.. worst FPS game I've ever played not to mention now in a couple of levels the gun in my characters hand started having texture issues and went from HD to pixelated to upside down and bent... all of which I could control but where I was walking in the level. OF course the actual meat and bones of the game doesn't suffer from that the Graphics have been flawless in vehicle and buildings which is essentially the whole game.

All in all I think its a great strategy game. For the most part the Walrus stuff is not excusable to I understand that much however the mantas do very well aslong as you keep them away from hostiles that try to kite them back into AA fire.

Overall I would give the game a 8/10 The single player campaign is basically a giant tutorial teaching all the features of the game over a long and slow unlocking process. The game would have been ALOT better if they had working walrus pathfinding, or simply allowed the walrus to turn in place like a tank... and they should have cut the on foot FPS sections they are a horrible and disconnected feature that somebody will see and say Nope horrible game I'm not getting it.

+ I forget to add in the FPS sections you take damage from running into things... just like the vehicles which I understand the bumper impact on a walrus but seriously why am I getting hurt for running into things?
