    From the review (google translate):

    "Planetary Annihilation" tear me wide-eyed into the massive interplanetary kind I have not seen before in any strategy game ever."

    "The game represents a brilliant entry for newcomers to the RTS genre, or a monstrous orgasm for simple, weathered veterans who have long been waiting for a real strategy game that is more about pillaging, huge explosions and headlong destruction than the management of granularity, configuration and quick reflexes."

    He didn't cover a lot of the specifics, which is how it's supposed to be. Just went for the big picture:

    AWESOME.

    Sarcasm? For the big picture I can watch Uber's trailers, for a a review I would much rather have specifics.

    Dafuc? that's like some backyard trash of a site.

    wth is up with that image quality I sat there motionless for a minute as I waited for it to load. .....it was done loading!

    plain white backround, side-to-side plain black text.
    ...as far as I can tell these guys never heard of CSS.

    Great stuff. Best review yet, icycalm approved. 10/10 would read again.

    It's a shame the only commenter basically said "review is wrong because other sites are slating the game"... :(

    This is the problem with PA, depending on how you look at it, it is both one of the best and worst RTS ever made.

    For me personally, I'm definitely in the 'best' camp :) I love multi-player and PA does things no other game has ever done before, it's built with the future in mind and really has that spark I've not experienced since TA / Spring (SupCom and FA were both good, but didn't quite hit the mark for me personally). If your a big fan of large story driven scripted campaigns though (Blizzard Style) then PA doesn't really offer that at all.

    The game is definitely fun but not even the most die hard fan would say it's perfect. I think 6/6 is too high.

    Otherwise, since nothing is perfect, you would never use the highest mark in your rating scale, in which case why have it at all?

    I explain all that in the essay.

    In the current state I'd give it a 3/6.
    For 1v1 games on single planet i'd say 5/6

    I'd be pretty doubtful they'd even have the money to do so. :p

    I could see that, an average of 4/6, I think once offline is released that may be bumped up, definitely in the future when huge planets are possible at least.

    The clearly spelled word "mobile" in the Url should have been a dead giveaway not needing an explanation.

    Americans grade in school from A too F.
    Europeans from 1 to 6
    This is from 6/6. Not 100 hundred, but definetly pretty good. I guess norwegians don't need an extensive explanation on how to use Pip, area commands, saveable camera positions and everything else ;)
