4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, repetitive, but very addicting!!, January 21, 2004

I've owned just about every game console made and go through many games. But, for some reason, this technologically archaic game is my favorite of all time. I'd give it 5 stars, but the graphics and loading times are very substandard. Playing without any cheats makes this game extremely challenging and will eat up many, many hours. But using some cheats can be fun and also make this a total destruction of the enemy type of game (and still can take hours). Many scenarios, good intensity as you progress, and need for strategy to succeed earns this game 4 stars. Graphics and slow processing keeps the fifth star out. Great game!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great port, but a bit clumsy, September 3, 2000

I loved this game on the PlayStation, I really did. But compare it to the computer version, and the PSX port doesn't hold up so well. Scrolling with a the joypad is difficult, the graphics are much more primitive, and the multiplayer option has to be thrown out the window. On the good side, it does contain all of the expansion modules and also allows for custom games based on player input, giving it good replay value if you've finished all of the scenarios.

However, when I only had a PlayStation to hand for a while, this game was regularly spinning inside of it. I'd give it 3 and a half, if I could. The game is engrossing, challenging and will eat up hours of your time. It's just better on a computer platform
