Computer Games Magazine
An outstanding game, both for its graphics and its gameplay, but it is not for everyone. Ground Control glaringly omits some standard genre features: there is no in-mission save, no speed control, no skirmish mode, and the AI is hit or miss. Yet this is truly a case of a game being greater than the sum of its parts.

CNET Gamecenter
Easily the best, most accessible 3D real-time strategy game to date.

Daily Radar
A fine game from most perspectives, it's also excellent in ways that will raise the bar a little higher for others making the attempt in this genre.

Da Gameboyz
A graphical masterpiece, with some gameplay flaws including the lack of a computer opponent in the multiplayer setup, as well as the inability to save your game during a mission.

Any problems are brushed aside by the bent-for-hell mayhem and thrill of combat. [Sept 2000, p.104]

Whether you've never played an RTS before or if you're diehard fan of the genre, "Ground Control" will keep you sitting in your own filth for hours on end just to get to the next mission.

What is does deliver are moments of pure fun and exhilaration, and I commend it for not trying to be anything other than a pure blast and destruction on a huge scale which is what most of us want to see.
