 This Game Has High PC Requirements September 4, 2010
TheVole
The game arrived within a week of order which was great. The game play is excellent and is very modifiable, but then a again it's a THQ game. Also if your computer is at the minimum requirements and you think it will work it will but don't get it because I can guarantee you be in for some seriously bad lag. This game feeds off of high CPU, Memory and, Graphics and Ram. If you don't know what the means or have either a CPU less the 3.0 GHz and a graphics card less then 512 gigabytes don't get the game you would be wasting you money. Overall great game highly recommend it for people who have high performance PC's.
Great RTS Game August 22, 2010
Craig B. (Kansas City, MO USA)
One of the best RTS games I've every played. And you sure can't beat the price. But, the reason I'm writing a review is because when I first got the game, I played through it just fine. I wanted to play through it again, and thought I'd go ahead and patch it. Ever since I patched it, the game crashes. I can't continue past a certain map because it always crashes on me. So, unless you plan to play online, you may want to hold off on patching it till you've had a chance to play through it once.
 Outstanding! July 6, 2010
Adam Haynes (SEATTLE, WA, US)
This is the best RTS game I've played since Batle for Middle Earth 2. The format makes you take and hold territory to gain points for units, weapons and ammo. It is a welcome break from the usual money making protocol of other rts games. The graphics are fantastic and the game play is smooth and challenging as is the AI on single player mode. 10/10 on this one for me... any fan of RTS games should check this one out.
Best RTS Hands Down June 2, 2010
D. Decker (Kailua Kona, HI)
I am a super big fan of Company. Always have been since it's release and currently own every expansion for the came that's come out. It's a fantastic strategy and it seems that with every patch the AI gets harder and harder.
Would like to see other races in the game. Italy, Japan etc...
Innovative and ass kicking. Don't belive me? Check out the video review on gamespot.
Installation nightmare May 30, 2010
D. Meyer (Chicago)
This is a great Real Time Strategy game. I just want to warn others about the installation process of this game.
After completing the initial installation of the game, I was forced to create an online account with Relic even though I have no intention of playing online. Then it says I have to download a patch to play the game online (I have to do this or else it will quit and go back to windows) and would I like to download it now (sizable patch 50-100 mb. but I can't remember exactly). Okay no big deal, so I download the patch,
quit the game and the patch installs itself. So I start the game again thinking that I am ready to play; What is this! another sizable patch! So I do this all over again, but not just one more time, but 4 times! The 5th patch is the Relic downloader which will help you download another 4 patches! One that I think might be over 1 gigabyte! It was late and I had to let it download into the night. Finally, many hours and a day later the game is ready to play.
Was it all worth it? Well... Yes of course, this game is awesome. But do yourself a favor and try to find a place on the internet to download a full patch (or even multiple patches) to install after you've done the initial installation of the game. This way you won't have to sit at the computer for 2 hours clicking buttons, starting and restarting the game.
Since the actual game is very good, I will only take one star off of the overall rating.
