For reference, this was the first review I wrote:

So far, this is a paid game which will allow you to do the tutorial, which appears to be offline. I haven't been able to actually play it since purchase, due to "Servers at capacity".

As such, for now I am reviewing it as I can: as an offline tutorial mission which is NOT worth the cost. I may revisit this review when I can actually play it.

Those connectivity issues were solved ans I've been having a BLAST with the game. And when I mean a blast, there are several meanings, and all of them are true:

- Having tons of fun
- Taking the backblast from my friend's recoilless rifle to the face
- Being blasted to smithereens by a bomber's 500kg bomb (either my friend's or mine, really)
- Blasting enemies left and right with orbital barrages
- and so on.

If you enjoyed Starship Troopers, it's all there: the satire to the ultrafacism, the cannonfoldering of citizens willing to (needless) die for "something greater", the satisfaction of accomplishing a mission flawlessly or the tragic comedy of failing it in countless spectacular ways.

With friends, I'd say it is a must-have, akin to games like Left 4 Dead.
