    A few graphical glitches can't spoil the fun in this great downloadable action game. It isn't cheap, but you won't regret any money you spend on it.

    With the varied unit types at your disposal and the commander abilities you can use, Anomaly: Warzone Earth should provide a lot of fun for those hoping to get something new out of this well-established genre.

    Luckily, 11 Bit Studios has crafted something that feels markedly different from the already diverse offerings PlayStation 3 owners can choose from.

    The gameplay doesn't change much, but the story is more fleshed out on PS3, the levels are longer, and the controls work well. [Dec 2012, p.83]

    Smartphone owners may be familiar with the basic premise, but it's been remixed and added to, essentially making the PS3 release a different game that's worth buying. [November 2012, p79]

    A:WE is a superlative downloadable title. A cheap price tag belies a deep, difficult game that offers some frustration, but much more fun. Even if you've had more than your fill of tower defenses lately, give this one a shot. You might be surprised just how much a shift in perspective can change the feel of a whole genre.

    With a great design, varied missions and a very addictive gameplay, Anomaly: Warzone Earth is revealed as a great action-strategy title.

    Anomaly: Warzone Earth makes the leap from mobile to console seamlessly. While you want find any daring new gameplay, you will find just enough tweaks to pique your interest if you dig tower defense.

    There's too much trial and error, but this is still a refreshing spin on a stale genre. [Nov 2012, p.97]

    В неком роде играВ неком роде игра получилась смесью стратегии, экшена и моба жанром. В игре приятная графика с красочными эффектами, хороший звук, а так же встроенный русский язык (озвучка на английском). В принципе аналогов такой игре на PS3 сейчас нет, так что она выделяется из общего числа.… Full Review »

Now, PS3 version is as good as Xbox one (which has a score around 8) but I'm giving 7 instead of 8 becuase it's soooo late (iOS version - August 2011, Android - Jan 2012, Xbox - April 2012 and PS3 now in Sept). It's got co-op mode which is exclusive to PS3, but this mode - while being some fun - doesn't add any depth to the gameplay. Speaking of which - it's reverted tower defense but somewhat deeper, closer even to some simplified RTS with unique twist. So fight stationary alien turrets: first create your squad (up to 6 units) and pick a path in urban maze for upcoming battle, and then go into action as the commander who helps the squad with AoE power-ups like repair, airstrike or smoke cover. In the end this combination makes pretty fun strategy and surprisingly good looking one. And it's really polished.… Full Review »

    This is like a tower defence game, but a reversed version, which is quite creative.
