I'm expected very mixed review. 80%+ would be a good result.

Anything about 80% will be a success, since RTSes haven't had a great streak of playability for the past 15 years.

The best console RTSes I have played are:

Herzog Zwei (the founder of the modern RTS as well as the best controlling console RTS. Ever)
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2

Everything else has been sub-par, IMO. C&C 3 was a step back given how well LOTR: BFME2 was.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I suspect that it will average around 90% on metacritic. I'll give my own opinions after I play the demo sometime.

Civ Rev is turn based, so it is not a Real Time Strategy game.

Looking at the scores, RTS on consoles havn't done too bad as far as scores go. I really hope Halo Wars can become the first AAA console RTS.

Well some of you might already know it, but anyway I'll post the link to seece's thread, where you can find information about the Halo Wars review embargo.

(sry seece, I thought you would post anything about it here. Someone has to do it )


So don't expect many reviews in the next days.
