    Overall, Squad Command is an excellent pickup for a strategy fan. You get a nice and difficult campaign to play through with a wide variety of weapons to rain destruction upon your enemies.

    Fighting the interface is half of the battle here, but if you can get past that you'll find that at its core Squad Command is an ejoyable strategy game.

    It could and should achieve so much more - but frankly it achieves enough by making a specialist subject matter and a specialist genre as fun and accessible as it does.

    One of the best turn-based strategy games I have ever played. Once you learn the game, its super exciting, and addictive. Really surprised on the low ratings, think this game is something else completely.… Expand

    Great game. Plays like fallout, but with destructible terrain. Pros: Graphics, Interface,well designed maps, Mass destruction caused by plasma cannons. Cons: Short single player, Some guns feel over powered but don't negatively effect game play (you can clear a room with one shotgun blast), Camera controlls takes some dexterity to look over rubble (its turn based so theres no rush, no problem).… Expand

    This game could have been great but instead it turned out average. I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40K and developers of Red Lynx had big boots to fill after the fantastic job from Relic on the Dawn of War series. Let's get one thing straight, this game isn't bad. But, it's not great either. The controls are poorly considered, and the A.I. should be re-classified as Artificial Stupidity after the number of times my own squad members decided to blow up half my squad on occasion. Then again, it's not all bad, as more often than not the enemy decides to do the same thing to themselves. The game lacks polish and gives the distinct impression of being rushed in order to get on the shelves before xmas. The cut scenes are nice, and it's obviously where most of your effort went unfortunately. Sorry, Red Lynx and THQ, but you get a big F for Fail in the eyes of Warhammer 40K fans everywhere.… Expand
