haven't finished playing the game, but so far i'm fairly disappointed in the frequencey of the full quality cgi scenes. it seems for the meat of the story they put together an engine which they could just input some simpletext dialogue and ran the puppets through a lip syncing system. very un-natural looking, and while acceptable for a game like mass effect it's quite cheap looking when stacked against the achievements of the original sc and sc:bw in terms of story telling and art quality. especially when you consider the tech they had to work with back then and still were able to produce something that spectacular.

the game itself is nothing special in terms of rts, but the continuation of the sc story is being treated well in terms of writing, and the general game design. that said tho, unless i've yet to uncover a large cache of cgi of cock blowing magnitude then i'm gonna wish i had kept my wallet a little fuller when i look back at what value i was given by the first sc and sc:bw compared to sc2
