While Universe at War could have been a glorious game there are a few issues that make it much less of a game than it could have been. This is the type of game, however, that my husband enjoys, so now I shall try and write out his thoughts on this game.

Universe at War: Earth Assault wowed the critics when released on the pc some months ago but hasn't done so well being transferred onto the xbox platform. In this game there is a race of Aliens called the Hierarchy which has invaded earth and is taking over the planet when a second race of Aliens comes to earth to save humanity. Before you know it there is a third race thrown into the mix.

Each of the three aliens has a different strength and weakness and so each one makes you approach the game from a different stance, and the balance is pretty good, which I was concerned about. The main problem with this, is that it is in fact no different from the pc version. You can choose between multi-player and single player, my only issue with single player is that it would have done better on PC.

I really like this game but I wish they had done bit more to suit it to an xbox game.
