I think most RTS have the same bad aspects, as Becky says... I generally get bored soon, but C&C (1) and Red Alert 2 (and great Warcraft II) were the ones I liked most.
This talking about typical RTS, but I prefer ones like Blitzkrieg II or Praetorians... because there is no ever-winning recipe which you learn and repeat over and over; you have to think everytime you play to adapt your strategy, and depending on the enemy your strategy can be an extreme victory or extreme loss.
However BK2's solo missions become repetitive in just 6 or 7 games, and multiplayer is pretty bad. But the playability/game design is good!
