But the biggest criticism of all is the same for all other Real Time Strategy Games - the lack of strategy. They really should be called Real Time Tactics (RTT) instead because the person who can point and click the mouse faster will usually prevail which isn't really strategy.
I call "RTS" games what they are. They are
action games. Fast, furious, relentless,
action.
If RTS games are strategy games then Turrican2, Ms. Pacman, and Stunt Car Racer are strategy games too!
