I really have to speak up about this great game. It's true the learning curve is a bit steep for some people, but the gameplay and graphics are both simply amazing. When the game was first released, there were several balancing issues regarding especially the Alien race; while I can't really say this shouldn't have been caught in playtesting, I would like to point out that the race is extremely unusual, being essentially a buildingless faction. As a result of the imbalances, a number of user-created mods were released; however, the most popular and effective elements of the mods were collected into an official and more-or-less accepted patch.

As mentioned above, this game is very hard to learn, but well worth it. To compare it to other popular games, I would say it's somewhere between Alpha Centauri (in gameplay; only realtime) and Starcraft (mostly in theme and style). If all you want is another 'Craft clone or a C&C knockoff, however, you would be well advised to stay away -- this game will overwhelm you.

I have enjoyed this game because it allows you to build different structures and different vehichles. I bought Earth 2150 and found the graphics to be so poor I quickly lost interest. I am anxious to see if Earth 2170 comes along...

Nice additions, small annoyances  [Posted on 2007-12-08]
Earth 2160 picks up shortly after Earth 2150. Humanity has been evacuated to Mars with the Earth no longer being inhabitable. The game has excellent graphics for the buildings, vehicles and landscape. People are done well but facial expressions leave something to be desired. Unlike the other Earth games, 2160 has voice actors and animated mission briefings. The voice actors are a very welcome addition. The interface looks pretty, though I miss the different tactics you could use for units in the other games. Also it can be difficult to manage large selections of units. Four different factions have 7 missions each. More missions would have been nice but the existing ones tell the story well enough. Three factions play similarly, but the fourth is very different and refreshing. I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it as a solid game with some nice additions.

Good game [Posted on 2008-02-13]
Fun game, beautiful graphics, customized units, and a good addition to the Earth series. If you can get past the annoying voice overs, and a not-to-fun campaign(just play skirmish mode), its a great game.

Dude this game is a bit of a dud. If you want a great game go with some of the older versions but I highly recomend the inspration of these games which is warzone 2100.
