Earth 2160

This is my review on Earth 2160. I know what you are asking, "What's so great about this game?" I am going to be a complete kiss ass for now by saying, "Well, it has great graphics and it occupies less than a gig."

Earth 2160 follows the progress of the factions, the United Civilized States, the Eurasian Dynasty and the Lunar Corporation, who, after escaping the doomed Earth, headed for Mars. After a time of relative peace and recovery, the factions once again come to blows, with a fourth faction ofextraterrestrial nature, named the Morphidians, coming into play. Just a few thousand humans were specifically chosen for the evacuation of Earth, and as such manpower and resources are limited. Upon reaching Mars, the factions set about completing the difficult and lengthy task ofterraforming the planet independently of one another. As the game begins the process appears to be far from completion. -wikipedia.org-

Well, enough about the story line and lets get to criticism. Yes, it has great graphics for such a small amount of space occupied in your HDD. But, graphics aren't worth jack if your soldiers, when they die, act like if they are made of plastic. The movement of your units is a bit suckish. Sorry, it is quite horrible. Even, old games have better movement that what this game does.

I must admit that its gameplay was great. There are three different factions and each of them being completely varied when it comes to strategies, construction, resources required and how it is gathered, and the units themselves (tanks, robots, organics, and hovercrafts). To top it all off, you can modify your units according to the situation in game. For example, modify a tank to be able to withstand lasers instead of missiles. This increases the amount of strategies that can be used. 

Now, the AI of the computer is highly adaptable. It adapts according to your strategy making it quite a challenge. It is actually really smart and very hard to beat even in easy. The campaign is really tough. Your strategic mind will be pushed to its limits.

Good luck with this game. You are going to need it.
