    For all the control innovations that come tantalisingly close to solving the riddle of joypad RTS play, Universe at War is constantly blighted by unforgivable slowdown that, at its worst, all but breaks the game.

    The art, the audio, the level design, it’s all just sorta “there”, and feels creatively bankrupt.

    Universe at War: Earth Assault is a bad game, just as simple as that. The controls work, but the framerate and camera ruin the party. So again we keep waiting for a good strategy game on the console.

    The bad menus, controls, unplayable online component, and terrible campaign mode completely shroud any real accomplishments made in terms of the game's balance and feel.

    Hands down the best RTS control scheme on the face of the planet. The factions in UAW are amazing and very diverse. It's very cool how Hands down the best RTS control scheme on the face of the planet. The factions in UAW are amazing and very diverse. It's very cool how you can take these giant walkers and walk all over the place. UAW just pwned C&C 3 as the must have RTS to play on the console.… Full Review »

The three factions of the game are wonderful and entirely unique from one another, the quality is great, the campaigns are amazing, the story is actually good for a RTS, and the voice acting is fantastic. The only problem I have with this game is the restriction the console put on the multiplayer, only allowing four players. Other than that, this is a great game and a must have for any RTS fan.… Full Review »
