    KDV and Codemasters has a lot to be proud of in their latest creation, Maelstrom is a beautiful game filled with a lot of strategic talent and plenty of room for big pretty explosions, and squirtings of blood. If you love a royal RTS experience then grab Maelstrom and plunge in.

    The good story, nice graphics and solid gameplay will keep you going for some time. However the questionable AI and "same old, same old" feel might keep some gamers away.

    An amateurish mess with a painful campaign mode and only a few novel ideas to be proud of.

    Very fun and innovative game to play. With a bit more polish to the pathfinding this game would be a 10.
