A SURPRISE, this one. I hadn't thought Microsoft's splendid real-time strategy would make the journey from PC, but here it is.

The conversion is handled fairly well, apart from the crying need for a mouse for the PS2 to make life easier when you're controlling affairs. The joypad is a poor substitute and marrs what is otherwise an excellent game.

The graphics could be a bit sharper but there's no shortage of options. If only it were easier to play...

Overall 3/5
