Unfortunetly I disagree with people thinking this game can appeal to anyone. It is an extremely complicated game in comparison to just about any other RTS. You have 2 resources, research, dominances (of which there are 4 individual bars to watch), and if your Vinci, prototypeing to manage. Also, the campaign actually doesn't prepare someone for multiplayer at all. The single player game uses a completely different system to upgrade your units or gain access to new units than the multiplayer game. Because of all this I think the game is unsuited for casual players who also want to play the multiplayer portion.
On the other hand, I absolutely love this game and think it's a wonderful game for the hardcore gamer. If you can handle multitasking your various abilities this game amply rewards you.
Oh and the voice acting sucks chunks, just like 90% of all the other games out there.
