I just hope the delayed beta doesn't mean there are more problems in the pipeline for this particular underdog. I like my RTS as bombastic as possible, and Universe At War fits the bill. The three races are pleasingly different, and one of them has a cow hoover for sucking up their resource: cattle. Do not be fooled: this could be one of the best asymmetric multiplayer games you'll play in 2007 or any other year. Yeah, the engine looks pretty ropey, and that ugliness has put a load of people off right away. Thanks, Game Trailers, you big game trailering site, you. What I'm trying to say is: there's a good deal of cowbell. It's a game that sits half way between Starcraft and Red Alert - it's packed with madcap ideas and over-the-top sci-fi silliness. But I was lucky enough to play it earlier this year, and I'm actually pretty excited about its mad verve. Now I'm well aware that, between C&C3 and Starcraft 2, this is going to have a hard time. The variety of weapons, enemies, and places that we'll have to conquer on Earth are huge, thus, we'll face our opponents in cities, at sea, in the mountains and in an endless amount of locations.I'd like to interrupt this FPS-excitement to focus for a moment on the real-time strategy game, Universe At War.
The game is really amazing technology, even allowing a cinematic camera that will allow you to view the action with the close takes totally automatically. They call in units and structures by carving crop circle style. The game’s antagonists, the Hierarchy, are stereotypical ‘invading aliens’ with a hint of UFO, a dash of Grey Aliens, and a generous dollop of War of the Worlds. Many publications name Universe at War: Earth Assault as the game that will help players to wait for StarCraft 2, something that really speaks in the name's favor. Universe at War takes this camp to 11 by basing the game’s story and factions firmly in B movie sci-fi tropes.
On May 10, 2007, Sega announced that the title was also in development for the Xbox. Universe at War: Earth Assault was intended to be the first game in a planned series of games to be called the Universe at War series. The Novus, Masari and the Hierarchy have more advanced technology as well as tactics and game systems that are totally different between them, something that is a real challenge to control them in the different phases of the game. Description: Universe at War: Earth Assault is a real-time strategy game, developed by Petroglyph Games and published by Sega. There are three factions that are fighting over our planet and it seems like humans can't do anything to avoid it. Universe at War: Earth Assault is a real-time strategy game in which we'll have to take the reins of an alien invasion of Earth.
