plays perfectly fine on a console, even sometimes good, especially with the voice command
(i beat it on 360)
It has some cool features, but is a relatively short game and kind of shallow, I'd only get it again if it was on sale, or rental.
I didn't enjoy the game enough to really delve into the online play, but it seems like it has potential to be fun if you're really into it. It consists of a global map and you pick a side (EU/USA/RUS) to fight for global dominance in a turn based, weekly campaign. (I've not done it so I may not be 100% correct).
