- “Great story line with side lines that lead to a good ending, will keep you reading till you finish and looking for more.”
- “I've read all of this series and the previous 'heritage' series and I find them all to be excellent... the author does tend to repeat background stories and references more often than is needed... (if he explains Doolittle's raid one more time, I'm going to scream) and his storylines build to a climax that then drops off a cliff that can leave you feeling a bit... cheated... that there aren't at least another few pages of epilogue... but with those two exceptions.”
- “I felt like the book hurried from one scene to another as the story was rushed along to set the stage for the final installment in the trilogy.”
- “Sweet storyline, just takes its sweet time.”

The music in the game is widely criticized for being repetitive and annoying, leading many players to turn it off shortly after starting. This detracts from the overall experience, as players find themselves frustrated not only with the music but also with the lack of engaging gameplay and community interaction.
- “The annoying music loops and will cause you to turn it off after your first tutorial mission. The player interaction consisted of a chat box full of people asking if anybody knew how to make the game use a decent amount of available monitor (nobody did).”
