Personally the game doesn't impress me. It really isn't a RTS as much as it is a slow paced action game. There isn't a whole lot of strategy in gameplay as much as a just upgrade everything as fast as possible and you win.

There is a reason RTS (or mock RTS) games do not use grids in any form and AoB emphasises why RTS and grids do not mix. Selecting a destination usually sets you off in the most direct path, but not always. Occasionally your ship willl attempt to circumnavigate a hex rather than pass through it. Due to the action game nature of AoB this means ships can escape you not because of strategy but purely due to poor AI pathing.

Even a score of 70 is giving this game too much credit.

That's what's great about XBLA: you can demo a game to see if you like it first.
