Great game in same vein as 2150
by ethan pelton on November 21, 2005
Pros: Keeps tradition of tech building, intriguing game play
Cons: Writing is pretty cheesy, but doesn't kill the game

Summary: Many users are saying that Gamespot has under rated Earth 2160, and they're right. the developers have done a great job of improving on the last version of the game. The tech tree is great, and the methodology for adding techs is fun. The AI seems to be pretty good, and the battles are engaging. The games forces you to think about how you build and attack, rather than just building up a huge army for each attack. The game reminds me of Ground Control II in that manner. Some of the graphics are a little poor, they almost look like Diablo depending on where you are and your zoom level, but over all the graphics are just as good as anything else coming out now. Learning curve is about 30 minutes if you go through at least the first campaign level, but it takes longer to master (which I haven't done yet). Overall just a fun game, relatively deep game.

Summary: This is a highly underrated game that is only underrated because not enough people know about it. It is a genre defining game that has a intelligent AI that makes it a hard game as well. Including the 4 factions is kind of a staple in all RTS games now but is still great. Having agents is a cool idea I just cant wait....

- Description: Only a few thousand humans managed to escape from Earth before its collapse in 2150. They spent the next few years terra forming on the red planet, developing new technologies and building up new civilizations. Each of the three warring fractions "Eurasian Dynasty", "United Civilized States" and "Lunar Corporation" did this independently and separately from each other - but in the year 2160 a strange new civilization awakens and a conspiracy is afoot. You have to choose, join forces or go it alone, survive and thrive or in death you effectively mark the end of the human race.
