I got it a few days ago, and I've been playing it like mad the past few days.
It definitely has some really cool points, and it is the first RTS that I've been able to sink my teeth into for awhile (not counting the Total War Series). It does have really addicting combat, and the mechanics of the game are quite different than usual (a change for the better), but there are a few problems with it, in my humble opinion.
The selection of units is pitiful. When I got fully upgraded, I was very surprised. I mean, I was expecting more than 15 or so unit types per side. As a huge Star Wars fan, I thought that the lack of time accurate ships was particularly bad. There was also at least one mislabeled ship.
Another problem was the shortness of the campaign. I hate being able to play through a game in less than a week, especially if I'm not playing a ton every day. The game ends as soon as it starts getting good.

I played the demo version, and it is kind of fun. You need to micromanage things a lot, but the squad-type organization of units is a bonus.

I got it the day it came out. It's okay, especially the multiplayer. I was invited to a clan (RSA) my second day playing

It isn't out here until March the 8th...
But I heard from my mate in the US that it's really cool...
RTS games are usually cool...
