Summary
Ground control is a full 3D war title not dissimilar from the hugely popular Command and Conquer series. Strategy is the name of the game here, as you pull out all the stops in a challenge to beat the opposition in both offensive and defensive battles.
Games of this genre usually discourage many players due to the hefty number of controls, but there is one difference here, and that’s the tutorial. Never before has a tutorial been so detailed and informative. Sure it may take a little longer to get into the game, but the time you spend learning is time well spent. Once you feel confident enough to go into a real battle, things are not so simple. Despite a great tutorial, there is a very steep learning curve at hand. You will be expected to remember everything you’ve learnt if you want to succeed.
Some people may doubt that a Command and Conquer style game wouldn't be as efficient, but Ground Control proves otherwise.
