Did anyone get this game? I got it on tuesday, so far its been great. Sometimes it can be a bit annoying because its hard to break through your enemies defenses. I would recommend it for anyone who likes strategy games. They finally got the controls for a console RTS right.

Really, are the controls good? I cant imagine playing an RTS without the drag box mouse...

Yea the controls are fine. After your first 1 or 2 games, you wont even realize what your doing, your just doing it. You only use A and the right trigger, plus the analog sticks.

I saw an ad and I thought, "Console RTS? HA!"

I still don't trust the n00bstick for strategy.

The reviews I saw for it said it's the first good console RTS game. I don't have a 360, but I really like the PC version. It's fun to do a defensive map (like Helm's Deep or Rivendell) and take on several players at once.

Yea the controls are really good. Once you get them down it feels like it was meant to be, i was a bit surprised that EA could pull it off. The only problem i have with it is when you play online you get pretty big slowdowns when you have very large, epic battles. But after a while you dont really notice it.
