Product Description
Platform: Xbox 360
Manufacturer's Description
Stormrise is a post apocalyptic real-time strategy game from Creative Assembly, the makers of Medieval II: Total War. Two warring factions arise from the rubble: the Echelon, a technologically advanced race that endured the planet's fallout by way of self-induced hibernation, and the Sai, a tribal society that adapted to the new apocalyptic environment and evolved over time. Players can command units in the air, across rooftops, on the earth's surface and even underground; this unique idea of "verticality" introduces multiple layers of gameplay that must be mastered for strategic advantage. The experience is heightened by a simple yet effective control system tailored specifically for consoles, which allows easy unit selection, rapid navigation and precise deployment.
Product Description
Experience the rush of battle in ways no other real-time strategy game has ever offered. Stormrise is the first truly 3D, next-gen RTS that, via the 3rd person camera perspective, puts you directly in the action. No other RTS game combines this level of immersion and emotional intensity with the scale and depth of a strategy game. Designed for next generation consoles, Stormrise puts you on the frontlines of battle as the heroic leader of your troops, allowing you to lead from the front in the world's most immersive RTS.
Earth's protective atmosphere has been stripped away by a catastrophic event centuries ago. In a bleak and barren landscape, the planet's inhabitants have had to adapt radically in order to survive, resulting in the creation of two distinctly different races; the Echelon and the Sai. With both factions constantly battling for supremacy, the rebuilt civilisation is on the brink of another catastrophe...

Fun:
As my title would suggest I thought the idea was great and to be honest I bought it early before any real reviews were available. I can honestly say I had my doubts even before I bought it but I was reckoning that good ol' Creative Assembly would pull it off... Alas I was wrong it really is bad, the controls (which were highly hyped to be very intuitive) were awful and they plagued my initial gaming experience to such an extent that I can't bring myself to play it again. I suggest if you want the best RTS experience stick with Creative Assembly and get the Total War series for the PC (which I might add are awesome) and you will fare far better.
Still you have to hand it to them for trying something new and it's these attempts at being a little different to the run of the mill RTS genre that will eventually lead to great things... Keep trying Creative Assembly!

Normally Creative Assembly make superb RTS games like the Total War series, but many problems in this game just doesn't seem like it's made by the same people. I like the idea of controlling the battlefield from a unit's eyes opposed to an overhead view, I like the graphics and sound design, I like the "whip select" mode to zip back and forth between areas of the battlefield, but I HATE the controls, the stupid AI, the glitches, the lame script, the horrendous slowdown when more than 5 units are on screen, and the fact that I have not been able to play a single online match because NOBODY plays it.
This game needed more time cooking, and as a result feels unpolished and decidedly average. There are many better RTS games you could spend your money on - such as Halo Wars, Endwar, or Command & Conquer. Only grab this one if it's cheap, or if you are a patient person looking for a slightly different RTS experience.

Cons- Camera

cant build your army
really really boring
Pros- ummmmmm..... good idea
Overall this game is rubbish. I wouldnt recommended it too anyone. I dont like RTS games which dont let you build your army. instead they give you set amount of men to do the mission. this is why i dont like endwar as well. There are so many better RTS games like halo wars, civilization revelution, supreme commander series and command and conquer 3 red alert. siimply the worst RTS on the xbox 360.
Overall rating 1.5/10 ( and thats being generous.)
