My only 'concern' with this review is that I really do not think it was a fair review. Looking at Gamespots reviews of other console RTS games :

Only Supreme Commander and Warhammer got worse scores mainly because of bad controls. Their review of Halo Wars would suggest that it is significantly worse than all the Command and Conquer games, worse than Lord of the rings, battlestation midway and endwar. In actual fact they gave Tiberium Wars a 8.7. I have played CC:TW and it is a good game, but if I compare the demo of Halo Wars to CC:TW in no way is there a 8.7 : 6.5 difference. Thats equivalent to the difference between Haze and Killzone2.

And to those that are griping about not playing the other factions, I agree that it is not 'traditional' gameplay, but what is wrong playing something a little different? Why do we 'have to' play the flood and Covenant in the campaign? I am all about getting more story, but I am all about kicking the covenant and the flood's assess all over the maps.
