    Well, another duel, another round of the same tired ranking argument nobody settles.

    C'est marrant, ça, moi je me souviens surtout des soirées chez un copain à se refiler la manette. Vous y jouiez plutôt seuls ou à plusieurs ?

    And yet when people put it against modern strategy titles they judge the grid battles like they were meant to be the whole game, not a piece of it.

    Yo tenía la memory card llena de partidas de otros juegos y aun así le hice hueco a este, y sinceramente creo que no aguanta tan bien como dicen, lo he intentado retomar y algo se pierde por el camino.

    On lui trouve toujours des excuses parce qu'il date de loin. Un jeu qui a besoin qu'on l'excuse en permanence, ça pose question sur sa place réelle.

    Lo rejugué el año pasado sin nostalgia de por medio, buscando fallos, y la verdad es que aguanta bien la comparación con juegos actuales del género... las batallas de ejército tienen un peso que pocos se atreven a intentar hoy, aunque el ritmo baje en algún tramo.

    Lo de ambicioso me suena, yo tampoco lo veo tan alto pero por otras razones, sobre todo el ritmo.

    En eso el foro entero anda dividido, cada duelo saca lo mismo.

    Yo también sigo sin verlo tan por encima de todo como aquí se dice.
