Final Liberation, IMHO, is pretty good. But, I gotta tell you, I just
finished my first multiplayer match (TCP/IP). My system crashed twice
trying to connect, so I uninstalled/reinstalled FL and the 1.01 patch. It
worked. So then, as I'm winning (805(me)/705(him, because of his Warlord)),
I start getting out-of-sync messages. Bad sign. About a minute later, the
whole network session falls through. I talked to the other guy, and he said
this happened the only other time he's tried FL in multiplayer. Not good.
(No, he didn't disconnect on purpose; he gave me the win) Caveat Emptor.
Without the planned expansions, and with that mythical 'powerful editor'
still on the horizon, and the poor multiplayer, it's got some strikes
against it. Yet, I still like it a lot. Quick games are fun, and sometimes
I like to try to beat the campaign on difficult. Haven't beaten the first
mission. I beat the campaign on medium, though. If you can find it on
sale, I advise you to pick it up.

PS. The graphics are the same in the full version.
PPS. Any other questions, please ask.
