Video Game Reviews of Universe At War: Earth Assault

Customer Review: Good mechanics, interesting gameplay
Summary: 4 Stars

Universe At War is a fairly accomplished RTS that presents enough new and unique elements to keep the game from becoming "just another RTS". The three factions are different enough to add a fair amount of variety in the campaigns.
The graphics for Universe At War are pretty good with the giant walkers, laser weapons, and massive explosions providing some pleasing eye-candy.
The online-multiplayer requires a Windows Live account but, from what I gather, that requirement has been made available free-of-charge to purchasers of this game.
Overall, Universe At War is a solid RTS with a good mix of variety and excitement to keep you playing til the end and then compelling enough to take you onilne to test your skills against the world.

Description of Universe At War: Earth Assault

Save the world or destroy it as you take charge of several unique factions with awesome powers and spectacular units. Control massive-scale alien war machines that are fully customizable. With on-the-fly tactical customization, you can dynamically swap out weaponry, rework your tech tree, and retrain units in the middle of combat to thwart your foe and seize the advantage. This advance on the traditional rock-paper-scissors model of balance gives players even more control over how they respond and adapt to their opponents strategies.

Universe at War: Earth Assault features large-scale environmental destruction in a persistent world level a city and when you come back, the area will still be a smoking ruin. Here, though, the environments you are fighting for are close to home, as you wage war across familiar Earth landmarks and cities.

The entire globe is at your command, as you manage resources, armies, and territories in the real-time strategic mode. As your heroes lead your forces into enemy territory, you will be taken into fast-paced tactical battles where the emphasis is on combat and action. A seamless integration of both the strategic and tactical mode allows you to call in reinforcements from other territories while engaged in ground warfare and take tactical troops back to the strategic level when you win so you can use them in later battles.

Universe at War: Earth Assault features innovative new multiplayer features inspired by todays top MMOs and competitive online environments, giving players achievements, rewards, and medals but in a balanced environment. Each of the games factions will have unique paths to victory with completely different styles of play, allowing players from across the globe to battle it out in persistent-style online campaigns for ultimate faction supremacy.
