If you like RTS games, yes. The character-building aspects and wargear (guns, armor, etc.) make the SP campaign very entertaining. It's paced well so that there's always some new piece of loot that you're excited to use or a unit that has gotten a new special ability to try out. The SP campaign is also pretty long; it seems longer than most of the SP campaigns I can think of in other RTSs. There are lots of 'optional' missions, but I've been doing all of them and so far I think I've completed about 30 missions and I'm guessing there are at about 10-15 more. Some are a bit repetitive, but I haven't gotten bored with them yet.
