Community Consensus
Based on analysis of player reviews
AI Analysis
Multiple reviews emphasize playing for 20+ years, hundreds/thousands of hours, and 'never gets old' indicating high replayability. Many mention continued enjoyment and being hooked since the 90s showing addictive gameplay. Several reviews specifically praise the music and atmosphere. Multiple reviews warn against buying for multiplayer, stating it's outdated and barely works, indicating dead multiplayer.
The Verdict
If you're a fan of classic RTS games looking for deep, endlessly replayable single-player strategy with a legendary soundtrack, this is absolutely worth picking up — but be aware that multiplayer is essentially dead and the resolution/compatibility issues may frustrate you, so consider the Definitive Edition instead if you want a smoother, more modern experience.
