Customer Reviews of Earth 2150

Speaking of depth, you can even take the battle underground in tunnels! You have to manage power for your buildings, your research needs, and whether you spend the credits you mine or send them back to the main base. You even design the units you will build by picking a base vehicle and its equipment.

All of this depth is what I find fascinating about this game; it has all this stuff crammed in, and it's even fun to play! The only problems I have with this game are with the manual. It gives a decent overview, but doesn't give a lot of details about the units, buildings, or advanced features (like platoons). But there are very good tutorials, so RTS vets can jump right in.

Earth 2150 plays great and looks great, and there is a lot to do in it. It even runs pretty well on my PII 400MHz, 96MB RAM, and 8MB ATI 3D Rage Pro integrated AGP video.

you an't seen nothin till you get this
okay I'l admit that I havn't been playing this game very long( 4 or five times.) I ,hower, am a huge RtS fan. I have seen and bought dozens of them. Then I found Earth 2150. I was amazed from the first day I played it. The graphics were stunning and a lot better than I'd expected. The lighting effects were excellent. There are real time day and night cycles which actually have a significant effect on gameplay. The terran has a big impact on game play. This game also involves more strategy than any so-called strategy games like Starcraft (THE worst game in the history of PC games.) It's just incredibl when you realize the incredible amount of strategy in the game. Bases are usually built on large scales and look really cool when they are big. The camera angle is easy to control. The movies and cutscenes are incredible. The graphics overall are very good and are real 3-D. In earth 2150 you choose from a huge variety and quantity of unit parts( weapons nd gadgets, ammunition type and body) and design your unit and add it to the consruction list. Part of the reson that the unit blances are so good is that you can only put some types of weapons n certain typs of unit chasis (bodies.) Still, there are over fiftty units for each side when you've used all the combinations. Each weapon that u put on a unit can accomplish it s on unique set of tasks. There are plenty of resources on the map so u ddon't ned toworr about unnning outof them. The maps them seleve are big enugh by anyone's standards. Each side ass their own uniqueset of parts to build their units. It only costed me nine bucks at Best Buy! Each side can also build briges across river. Each side also has ther own construction unit. Missile trails and explosions look good. The batles look and are spectacular. Part of the reson or this is that nearby units can be damged by flying derbies and larg exposions. Unlike wacraft 3 there water units. The sountrack is good and the story lin is very creative. Unlike in a lot of strategy games tany one of the many super eapons can be bocked. the game is just a stunning experience despite the very low price. There are also a lot of options when it comes to units. You can set the units behavior(there are quite a fw options for this), tell it to turn off its light, and if its an air unit tell it to land. The units and the sructures have a very cool futuristic look to them. Each one of the tree sides has plenty of structures and you can even customize your defensive structures. As said earlier your units and buildings can turn of their lights which can be used to your advantage in severel ways and also affects the game play in other ways. You can also build tunnels. Units don't take o long to build (like in starcraft) or to short of a time to build. There are also occasional meteor showers. It eems like the producers put extra work into every imaginabl area of the game. The story line is creative and the musicis good. There are air water and ground units. Some units can carry multiple types of weapons. Well, enough said.. I you don't have it get it. Defintaly better than Star craft of any of those other overated games (though can't wait to see what C&C Generals is going to bee like....)

And old game; but it rocks.
My friends and I recently re-deiscovered this old classic. We ingage in online battles almost every week; damn is it fun.

The graphics are up to par with the most modern games, and the 3D camera is great. The units are very very diverse, dispite what that other reviewer said. There are mechs, tanks, helicopters, hover vehicles, anti-grav vehicles, ships, and boats. You can build bridges, dig trenches, build tunnels - what other game lets you do that? This game involves so much strategy - that is to say, there are so many ways of accomplishing your objective. There are many weapons, and shields which protect from energy weapons; non-energy weapons need to be resupplied, which adds an awesome dose of realism - and fun. I love shooting down my friend's resupply planes during a big battle, then taking out the helpless unit. It's tough, though, because the planes are well-armored, and move fast, dropping off the ammo and heading away.

Another feature which is cool is the ability to divide the screen, and keep an eye on multiple locations at once.

Man, nightime in this game is great. Everything gets dark, and your base lights up. All lights - on buildings and vechicles - can be turned on and off at your discretion. With lights off, it's much tougher to see units in the dark; but they move slower.

With the LC, they get power from the sun. At night, they are forced to use batteries. But if your battery runs out, you're screwed till dawn. I've never played a game like that; the scariest thing is to be sitting there, helpless, hoping the enemy doesn't attack. Because you're defenseless. It may seem like it'd be frusterating; but no, it's just scary.

The other two teams have differant power situations, which don't involve the sun.
Man, does this game rock.

And if you haven't already, buy "Firefly - The Complete Series". I swear, you won't regret it. Just search for it here on Amazon.
