I completely agree that the game fails as a genre. But why does a game have to be good at a specific genre to be a good game? Honestly, even though people are labeling it as an rts game, that is definitely not all the game is about. I mean theres what, like 4 or 5 rts fights? The rest of it is a combination of a bunch of different elements; racing, adventure hack/slash, side missions, etc. Besides, people complain that they dont like rts, but during the rts portions all you have to do is build a bunch of units, and then LEAD them into battle, not send them to different strategic points and sit back and watch. In fact, if you try to play it as an rts you will get pwned.(and by the way I don't play rts games and generally hate them) The rts portions are really basic too. They take place on extremely straightforward maps (usually just an open plain between bases with "currency" nodes in-between). Its pretty simple just to power through them. What I like best about the game, however, is the atmosphere. On its own, I admit, many of the gameplay elements are pretty weak, but the whole metal atmosphere makes it more interesting, even if its just while driving from point a to point b. (while running over/shooting down various wildlife) Just because the game isn't exactly as was advertised doesn't mean it's not a good game.
