Universe at War: Earth Assault will most likely make you remember the days when you were playing Starcraft. Still, it's better than Starcraft. The races are so varied and flexible that the game is highly replayable and each time you could try another tactic. Which is really good for a RTS game. Unfortunately, the flaws the campaign comes with, as well as the story that brings nothing new for the genre, might not be something the hardcore RTS fans will appreciate. And... Read more
You can compare with a rough diamond. While it has several beautiful features like three races, innovating gameplay and cross-over multiplayer, it sadly also has some negative points. The Windows Live service is a bit of trial and error and the interface is too empty for an RTS game on PC.

The game has some good ideas but the devs have closely tied your hands behind your back and most of the time you are trying to follow your troops vs leading them in battle. Take the game back to the store. Do not be decieved. Read more
This game was a joy to play. It has 3 very separate and distinct sides to play as. It really caters well to different play styles and provides many different ways to apply battlefield tactics. You play in a typical Top-Down perspective like Command and ... Read more
