Anomaly: Warzone Earth

Synopsis
Anomaly: Warzone Earth is an extraordinary mixture of action and strategy in a reversed tower defense formula. The game tasks you with saving a near-future Earth from an alien onslaught. The invaders have captured worlds major cities, building huge turrets that destroy everything in their path. Its up to you to lead an armor squad through the streets of cities like Baghdad and Tokyo, planning the route and strategically choosing which units to deploy in order to crush the opposition. Take control of the Commander, whose special abilities and quick thinking will be vital in supporting the squad in its mission, as you engage in fast-paced, tactical battle across story campaign and two heart-pounding Squad Assault Modes.
Gameplay
It's not what I expected at all. From the intro it looks like a form of Splinter Cell or Ghost Recon, but it's nothing even remotely close to that. This game isn't for me at all, I have played some games like this before and cannot get on with them, they bore me very fast, but maybe it's just me being impatient. But this game has a fantastic intro based on films and cut-scenes, after that though, it's all down hill. It has a nice story line to it, but it gets boring very fast. Everything is very scripted and happens in the exact same way in every mission. So that aspect of it ruins it for me.
Graphics
The graphics are okay, nothing special. As this was a cheap game at best, you cannot expect high end graphics. The terrain is grainy even when playing on the highest detail setting. The camera is very hard to use as you have to move the player to be able to see more. I mean you can use the tactical map by using the scroll wheel on your mouse, but it doesn't help much at all. I cannot comment on the character detail, as you can't really see him. Same goes with the vehicles, you're to high up to see the detail of anything.
Controls
The controls are very easy to learn, they give you walk-throughs whilst playing the game and at each point you need a new button they will tell you. I like that about this though, you only learn it, if you need to. You can of course map certain buttons to what ever keys you like, but this is really unnecessary as the default ones are fine.
