Summary: first, you should rent it than buy it, because it's alot cheaper (the game is about $70, rent 4 less than $10 a week). In this game, for about 12/15 of the missions are something to do with these enemies (I forget what they are called) who try to mess up everything you do, for example, in the first mission they over run your base and you try to take it back from them. An example of something they try to mess up is that there is a city which is being attacked by them. There are 3 planes that take the people that live there to a safer place, and they attempt to destroy all 3 of them. An enemy you fight for about 4 or 3 missions are the flood, such as swarms of locusts, 5 foot long worms, and other living things that are a bit more different than in real life.
