Should you buy this game?

When I'm making a decision on buying a game, I often look at the comments to get insights on whether the game is fun or frustrating. My view is that this game is fun.
I normally don't like real-time-strategy games, but I liked the movie and thought I'd try the game. I'm glad I did.
As an RTS, I like it because:
1. You can save at any moment & recover from any mistakes (it also has an autosave in case you forget).
2. It has cheat codes in case you don't want to reload.
3. The game has 5 different difficulty levels and the easiest is a good way to start (I can remember a fire fighting game years ago that seemed good, but its basic level was too tough. I never got past the 3rd fire because its programmers failed to realize most users had zero experience with fire fighting games). In contrast, the difficulty levels for Starship trooper seem on-target.
If you want other perspectives on the game, click thru to the cheat codes. On the page where the cheat codes are posted, various people note how the cheat codes add to the game (you can see they like the game).
