Stormrise Review
_______________

The RTS genre in the console market has never been a success and most of the criticism is leveled at the control system which is just never indicative to a good gaming experience. The PC rules the roost with strategy games and it may very well always be like this. That said, developer Creative Assembly of Total War fame has implemented a new control system specifically for the console market. Is this set to revolutionise the genre?

The story pits the Echelon, the human survivors of a catastrophic failed global control experiment against a new species of humanoid known as the Sai, a psionics based race who are inherently ‘evil’. This is the initial feeling anyway but without ruining the storyline the plot does get a little more interesting as progression is made.
