No, I tottaly hated Apocalypse VS the original. Like many other games too (like Heroes IV).
The trick to still play the game and still have fun with it is to try to play it as if it wasn't really a sequel to the original game but as if it was a new game in itself. Then the game begin to be interesting.
BTW, the real time mode is in every way superior to the turn by turn mode. It's simply the way they made it. If turn by turn was made like the original it would be way better... But still I remember the developpers putting turn by turn only because they really needed to. Some fans were giving them problems with that... :whistle:
Real time mode is not that bad anyways. You can still pause the game as you wish (with the spacebar if I remember well) and make the game feel like an RTS but with some real strategy involved (unlike Red Alert and the like).
