Universe At War: Earth Assault
Save the world or destroy it as you take charge of several unique factions with awesome powers and spectacular units. Control massive-scale alien war machines that are fully customizable. With on-the-fly tactical customization, you can dynamically swap out weaponry, rework your tech tree, and retrain units in the middle of combat to thwart your foe and seize the advantage. This advance on the traditional rock-paper-scissors model of balance gives players even more control over how they respond and adapt to their opponents strategies. Universe at War: Earth Assault features large-scale environmental destruction in a persistent world level a city and when you come back, the area will still be a smoking ruin. Here, though, the environments you are fighting for are close to home, as you wage war across familiar Earth landmarks and cities. The entire globe is at your command, as you manage resources, armies, and territories in the real-time strategic mode. As your heroes lead your forces into enemy territory, you will be taken into fast-paced tactical battles where the emphasis is on combat and action. A seamless integration of both the strategic and tactical mode allows you to call in reinforcements from other territories while engaged in ground warfare and take tactical troops back to the strategic level when you win so you can use them in later battles. Universe at War: Earth Assault features innovative new multiplayer features inspired by todays top MMOs and competitive online environments, giving players achievements, rewards, and medals but in a balanced environment. Each of the games factions will have unique paths to victory with completely different styles of play, allowing players from across the globe to battle it out in persistent-style online campaigns for ultimate faction supremacy.

Universe At War: Earth Assault Reviews
I wasted enough time trying to play this sorry game, so I won't waste much time trying to review it. This game had a great premise and some good ideas, but the gameplay is just too clumsy. Try Faces of War, instead. There are much better games out there.
Its been 18 months now, still no fix. Hail Flavius. Many people have had issues including myself with starting the game because incompatibilities between securom and other software makes securom think the DVD is a copy. Installs Securom. Do your self a favor and try a game that does not have these frustrations. This is one of those copyright protection programs that you may never be rid of. Do some reading and you will also see that Sega offers no solution.
Overall, Universe At War is a solid RTS with a good mix of variety and excitement to keep you playing til the end and then compelling enough to take you onilne to test your skills against the world. Universe At War is a fairly accomplished RTS that presents enough new and unique elements to keep the game from becoming "just another RTS". The graphics for Universe At War are pretty good with the giant walkers, laser weapons, and massive explosions providing some pleasing eye-candy. The three factions are different enough to add a fair amount of variety in the campaigns. The online-multiplayer requires a Windows Live account but, from what I gather, that requirement has been made available free-of-charge to purchasers of this game.
I almost threw the disk in the garbage. Yeah. Is it worth ten bucks or whatever. Addtionally if you're running Vista like I am, it will crash randomly and run slower than mud. First of all the auto patch leads to a dead link, to find the update you have to goto the sega.com site and download it manually.
I've only played the single-player. I pretty much agree with the other reviewers. Fifty.
On the upside it's easy and fun to play, it's just too bad that the various units/races seem to borrow a little from every genre in sci-fi, if done right it would have been charming, although it feels more like the developers just wanted to rush the thing out the door. It's a fun game to play with a few annoying things.
it shows. But magically if you uncheck DX10 in the settings, it will run just fine. Nope.
The kicker is the update page never loads. Sure its over a decade older but it looks better than this and plays much better. Pay more get Starcraft. NEVER. Im not even gonna try and recoup money and resell this game. Its not fun, not pretty, and doest seem to work right and to top it off if you wanna sign into live your gonna have to give all sorts of personal info.
I would feel wrong passing on to some one else. Save your money for another game. The final insult is everytime i start the game it tells me i need to download an update. This is going into the trash. I have a hardcore gaming computer and I have to say this gave is an insult to it. Like your home number.
I have no idea how this game got such good reviews. I bought this game for under 9 bucks new from amazon, it wasnt worth it.
