I know what you talking about, as it froze on me once, but I only played the game for about 5 straight days since I rented it, so maybe in the long term it is pretty bad. When I wrote this, it was during the time I read the review of this game on IGN, which was really a lot of bull. they really pinned the game as ugly, boring gameplay, and everyother hour lockups and freezes. Yeah its not a nice looking game, the gameplay is great if your into a indepth RTS on a console [which is rare], and well I was just fortunate that I didn't experience these reoccuring lock up/freezing moments. I later read around that the reviewer at the time of IGN had a bad xbox360 and it RRoD not too long after the review, so I expected the freezing problem to be that. It actually seemed as if the reviewer never laid a hand on an RTS ever in his life, and was some FPS guy that played just Halo 3. Sorry for your bad experience with this game, but maybe next time I'll try to write something when I have tried it over a bit more time. I made this awhile ago so yeah I never did update it.

Somewhat graphical bugs is an understatement. I'm sitting in front of yet another game freeze, and guess what, it's during a save! It is a frequent reoccurrence for this game to lock up, and it is unaceptable. k, what? Somewhat graphical bugs is an understatement.

Then again, I see where you are comming from because people that obviously look like they aren't paying attention by just looking around or spazzing and whatnot do get called on easily too. I find that if you just look at maybe their shirt or maybe their neck you could get away, since it seems like your listening, but thats just it. Maybe its just me but whatever works best for you works.

Most of my teachers pick on people who arn't paying attention to set an example and make them look stupid. If you're making eye contact then he'll pthink "That guy is making eye contact. He's paying attention. He knows the answer. No need to pick on him". I’ve always thought that making eye contact would have the opposite effect.
