The fact that you can choose from three different sides was an outstanding feature of Earth 2150. When it comes to dirty low-down battlefield tricks, The Moon Project plays host to most of them. Trouble is, in most cases the fleeing units are luring you into an ambush in a remote crater on the dark side. In true Terminator style, your devout killing machines will ruthlessly pursue their quarry until the bitter end. If you equip this beast with the right weapons (preferably the new Earthquake Generator), you'll find both the Eurasian Dynasty and the United Civilised States scampering away as fast as their earthly legs will carry them.īut don't worry, the universally brilliant AI will leave your troops in no doubt as to what to do if your enemies do turn tail. Most notable of these is The Lunar Corporation's FatGirl unit, the Fatima Whitbread of ground-assault vehicles. The research tree has been bolstered ever so slightly from the original, so all three warring sides benefit from brand-new vehicles and weapons. Instead of expanding and taking previous innovations to the limit, this follow-up concentrates on merely fine-tuning what is already there. The Moon Project brings 2150s talents back into the spotlight, though not necessarily with the flurry we might have hoped for. And, until now, that is where it has remained. Ground Control, Homewortd and Battle Isle IVall conspired to pummel Earth 2150 back into obscurity. Unfortunately for the Polish/German development team, the awards, glamour and adoration of sexy RTS groupies everywhere had to be put on hold after a surge of impressive sci-fi strategy games appeared soon after. In short, we thought it gave its peers a fair old kick up the arse - and we like that in a game. It looked fantastic, it played well and it had a unique multi-window interface that was totally innovative.
When we reviewed Earth 2150 a year ago, it stunned us to the core.
