Yeah, the reviews so far look decent - the first one or two hours seem to be grating, though (many quicktime events). German site Golem.de clocks the main campaign at 10-12 hours, without going exploring/finding the (supposedly) plentiful secrets.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I like the WW1 game. Interesting to follow the change in tactics and weaponry. ie. going from napoleonic formations being pinned and decimated in the open, to  pre-modern squads and platoons being pinned and decimated in no-man's land, or stuck in barbed wire, or in the firezone established on the paths left open between the wires.

But seriously, there are some cool moments, like you FINALLY, FINALLY break through the first line, and the enemy's reinforcements come rushing in and your decimated forces desperately try to hold on and avoid being chased off from the trenches they just captured.

Plus the designer included a long and excellent article about the evolution of tactics in the war.

That sounds awesome...

That was pretty fun.
