Thanks for pointing this one out. It was on a short list of stuff I wanted to try but I didn't have the system for it when it came out, then I got wrapped up in other things and forgot about it.
I remembered it again briefly when War3 was announced and being developed because the intial War3 plan was closer to this (# of units limited by power of your hero, less town and resource management). I also remember being excited about it when I first heard about it because unit control was more like Myth than many of the other RTS games out there. Smaller unit numbers, more strategic control required. But the idea of an RTS mixed with some FPS (well 3rd person) elements seemed very cool at the time. It's a definite genre bender. I'll have to look for it in bargain locations. Definitely looks like the eye candy is good enough to not be too out of date for me to want to deal with it.
