Surprisingly fun

I'm not a big RTS fan, but I actually really enjoyed this one. It has some interesting twists with customizable units (for 3/4 factions at least) and different resource needs for different factions which adds an extra angle to the strategy. The four campaigns link together nicely, although the final mission of the last campaign was way too easy and the ending was a bit of a let down. Graphics are pretty good, sound falls out of sync in the cut scenes (possibly because it was translated?) and some of the unit voices are a little annoying.

Earth 2160

I've just started playing Earth 2160, I'm a regular player of RTS games and most don't really live up to what they boast but Earth 2160 does. I've never played the other Earth games but if they are half as good as this I would recommend them. Earth 2160 had depth of strategy with simple game play mechanics, the "Easy to play, hard to master" saying is very relevant here. The units are balanced according to factions, graphics are very good for the low requirements. The game-play is fast and stylish and you are reminded of the Sci-Fi element every time to see a battle, it is truly worth buying.

Best Game for your Buck

If you're reading this you should be playing this game!!! You can't ask for much more of a game that is 10 years old and still plays and feels like it came out yesterday. The graphics are sharp and the game play is solid. I've played lots of RTS games and this one by far is one of the BEST! for $4.99 you get your cake and you can eat it too!

Just to bad!

I am very disappointed. You shouldnt buy this game. You will have NO multiplayer! Its not possible to activate the game. There is no CD-Key to activate it to play multiplayer. Do yourself a favor and dont buy this game. GoG.com, you made a big mistake here. Next time i will buy somewhere else.

No Warzone 2100

Granted Warzone 2100 and the Earth series are not linked however Earth 2160 and Warzone 2100 do share very similar gameplay mechanics, I would have to say that Warzone 2100 is much better (even though much older). There are many annoying parts of Earth 2160; It has horrible sound actors, it has horrible dialogue (both storyline and from units while playing), it has a horrible storyline although to be fair I haven't finished the game as I couldn't really stomach it past finishing the 1st campaign and then starting on the 2nd. It has bad unit pathing, it doesn't have a great unit command interface. The unit design isn't too customisable, it just seems to work on a Rock Paper Scissors method with armour and weapons (3 types of armour/weapons) and then you can add shields or auto-repair but not really designing a unit. It might be a fun RTS to play online but it's certainly not as fun as Warzone 2100.
