Company of Heroes Review
Company of Heroes arguably shows off even more of its brilliant design in multiplayer than it does in the single player format. Whilst on-line play obviously does not have the carefully crafted set-pieces or tactical puzzles laid out by Relic, the computer AI rarely implements the excellent features that the player will to gain victory. It's always more satisfying to make a fellow human suffer than your own PC, but its even better to successfully perpetrate sneaky distractions and pincer movements when your opponent is trying to do the same to you.

Aye good review of a fantastic game, I really disliked the first mission but otherwise it was a fantastic game, with realistic missions not just the go here blow this up in most rts games. You actually felt these missions were real missions from the period.

Sorry about the screen shots, they indeed don't do the game justice. I used SnagIt which takes only about 50% of the actual right pictures, plus when anything actually exciting is on screen, I forget to actually press the damn button. Listen to Jammin - it looks better than the shots.
(By the way, my fiancee went and typed in 'awww, did you get attacthed to your tiny men' and I forgot to delete it!)

Lies you just want to pretend you have a fiancee, when in actual fact its your right hand. I use fraps as you dont lose to much quality and its a piece of piss to use.

Stan! Slander and baseless accusations! I am very real!

I make the tea that makes Duncan's reviews happen.

I picked myself up a copy of this, by far the best game I've played in a LONG While. The animations and atmosphere are immense. I love the way it's tactical without being boring too. Very good game

I agree that 9.5 is high, even for a game as excellent as this. The trouble being : do you consider a rating based upon all the games previously in the genre, in which case is its the best 9.5 is about right, or should it be objective, with '10' being an impossible perfect game? Its far from being the best game possible, but it is the best RTS yet (in my opinion).

We review it based on the game itself, not on the others in the genre, otherwise say you gave half life 2 9.5 and then half life 3 comes out and is better then it would have to have a 10, even tho it aint perfect.
