Mostal reviewed Company of Heroes for the PC...

...and gave it a 9.5!

Company of Heroes really is an excellent game.

I haven't had issues with bugs, although the graphics were a bit much for my semi-old computer. But with a graphics card update it worked just fine.

The strategy vs. RT immersion is astounding. It is the superior to games of its likeness [Age of Mythology, Age of Empires I,II,III]. The ability to use objects in the field as shelter and adding actual defense stats to your units is really great. Where previous games were BMoC [Big mass-o-crap] fighting styles [where you just threw appropriate units into a giant make-shift fight] this one affords multiple buildings that can be used for cover and even turned into bases.

The multi-player has been surprisingly lag free and well balanced. The maps chosen allow so many players and are therefore built to be big enough or small enough to accommodate the number of players in the game. Also there is the upper-ground effect given by the ability to raise decent [but not all powerful] defenses; so that it is more difficult to attack than to defend an area. It makes one actually have to consider the likely defenses of an area you want to raid or take and makes recon finally appreciated.

It's very immersing and well made. My only difficulty was with high graphics, and in that case, the fault dear Brutus lies with us; the under-equipped gamers that we are underlings. =p
I recommend two things; get a decent graphics card and get this game!
