Hmmmm, interesting so far, thank you.
In answer to a couple of points:
- JudgeDredd, I am well aware that I am asking this question in CEAW forum, I was interested in comments from CEAW owners comparing it to the others (I have just bought CEAW myself)
- WiF was a joke, hence the [;)], as I know it hasn't been released. I just loved the board game, something about the way the whole thing worked. From what I have read (posts), I suspect/worry it will be a good game/port but without much attention at all to the AI. Hope I'm wrong..
- Interesting rating on SC2. I have SC1, and quite liked it, but didn't feel like shelling out for SC2, which seemed so similar. Perhaps I should rethink, guys?
What I
really meant/wanted to ask as the original question was "Which game provides the best
single-player playing experience?". Sorry, I don't multiplayer, so it could be as good/bad as it likes, don't care. Now, "single-player experience" is some mixture of:
[ol][*]if the AI sucks I'm gonna get bored, so I put this first
[*]but also, I'm not asking for a wizzy UI/gameplay, but if it's too laborious/arcane I'll give up
[*]plus, the format has got to "grab me", else I can't be bothered.[/ol]
Don't shoot me down, but for me, for example, I found
HoI failed on #2. and
GGWaW failed on #3., whatever the AI merits.
