So I downloaded the World in Conflict Demo (http://www.worldinconflict.com/) Get the demo here. (Gamershell seemed to be the fastest download speed by the way.)
And I installed it with much anticipation. The screenshots I've seen and the reviews I've read said all good things. I started out with the tutorial. I thought, "This game is going to kick some serious ass!" The graphics were good, the sound was good. It seemed to be going good.

Then I realized I really didn't like the camera controls. Kind of hard to get used to. Yes, they are powerful controls, but a bit of a pain in the ass for me. I succeeded in the tutorial, and thought that maybe the game would get better.

I started the first mission and realized that I had to babysit all of these troops. There'd be a conflict in an area, with one of my tanks right next to it, and it wouldn't engage the enemy. I really hate to play god or theater commander, or whatever with games. I'd really just like to be in charge of a lot less things thank you very much.

Overall, I rate the game Meh. The game looks fantastic. There is a lot of stuff to do. But I really hate babysitting so many of my troops. In real life, when I tell my guys in the Air Force Reserve to do stuff, I don't have to babysit them. They get the job done. When a problem occurs, they take care of it if they can, if not they ask me what to do. It seems this game is a lot like a new version of Command and Conquer. I remember I got tired of babysitting the GDI or Nod troops too. :erg:

So... it's an RTS with micro-management?

Outrageous.
