- Summary: A 2D battlefield game set during a 21st Century resource shortage which "resembles" the oft-imitated Starcraft. (Why imitate a game released in 1998, you ask?) Incidentally, the default graphics resolution of the game is 640x480, so if you have some old equipment, this might be the game for you.

Combines a solid interface with an intriguing storyline. In addition, the multiplayer options make Outlive stand above its competitors.
-
Poor graphics and sound have their good side as well - the game will run smoothly on older machines, regardless of the number of units appearing on screen, and loading and saving games is as fast as it can get.
-
Technically correct but uninspired, unbalanced, and lacking in some production values.
-
Most notable is what Outlive doesn't incorporate--every innovation since 1998. No burrowing or stealth units, no unit experience carryover, no 3D battlefield or units, no unique units.
-
The real-time strategy genre currently has many excellent games available to satisfy a lot of specific kinds of preferences. With so many games to choose from, it makes little sense to revisit three-year-old concepts.

They've apparently tried to recapture the magic of "StarCraft," but in this case the spell has fizzled.
