It's just...depressing

I bought this game after trying the demo, which seemed pretty neat. However, after playing Ground Control, this game seems constricting, boring and...forgive me...depressing. Allow me to explain.

First, the graphics engine, although good looking, does not allow for full camera freedom. This means that you are limited to a top down view of the battle, unlike the far superior Ground Control where you can look wherever you want to. I personally find this quite limiting, especially considering you can't zoom out far enough to make any sort of real strategy or troop movements easily.

Also, the whole environment of the game, from the music to the seemingly omnipresent fog to the rain to the plot to the night, is just depressing. It doesn't make you WANT to play. I found myself slaving through another boring and overly long mission just to see some new technology, one of the cool parts of the game, and eventually I just gave up and moved on. There are some great lighting and weather effects, but I really don't think the atmosphere is condusive to fun gameplay.

In short: If you're looking for a great, fun, beautiful 3D RTS, buy Ground Control. This game just isn't worth the effort.

Good grafics but average gameplay

I recently downloaded the incredibly big demo of Earth 2150. I thought it had impressive 3d grafics and all that other stuff but ultimatly all the rotation just made the game confusing. Some of your units don't even do what they tell you. I think all the game comes down to is another bad game like Tiberian Sun. They make it look cool when it isn't really fun.

Money better spent elsewhere

I owned this game for less than 2 hours. I recommend you download the 2150 demo, play it, uninstall it, then go buy Ground Control. It's a much better game.

A game that changed meaning of 3D strategy games

At first this game was very hard to play but once I started to get the hang of it it was really fun to play. The graphics are great esp. the weather effects. I would recommend the full installation because you get better gameplay then when you choose the normal installation.

WOW!

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....)

awesome game even after 3yrs

just wanted to make a note that earth 2150 and moon project also play on windows 2000. A similar game to pick up is empire earth. you will spend plenty of hours multiplayer, or single player it is very challenging, multi tasking at its best, but very enjoyable.

Not that good

The game is good but the building and all units are the same color and it is hard to tell who is who and what is what. The graphics may look good generally but if you look closely the details on some things are horible! The guys who made that game made the units with diffreent shapes and lines so it make it even harder to see. Units and building are so covered with shapes and lines, that it reminds me of a low budget movie.Also when it is night in the game, You cant see anything! I have a 100% vision my friend and that game is nothing but poop.
