It looks better than any other RTS out there. Just cause you dont like that style of game doesnt mean you should bag on it. Remember the little comments you said on GTA4? Dont bash it till you try it.
It looks too complicated and too strategically deep for me. I'm not an RTS fan (last one I beat was Red Alert 2 and expansions), though, so probably what turns me off about this game is what everyone else thinks is good about it.
