Universe At War Earth Assault review for the PC

Conspiracy theorists will have you believe that aliens are already here, quietly living among us. Nonsense this might be, but were those aliens to take the shape of those found in Universe At War, there would be no doubt as to their existence. Great big stomping walkers firing death from all angles are a world away from the ‘greys' of The X-Files et al, and their intentions are anything but friendly.

The mildly clichéd storyline is set out in the game's playable prelude, in which you are briefly in charge of the marines, tasked with keeping the president alive while all hell rains down from our unfriendly visitors, known as the Hierarchy. Tanks and guns are scarcely a match for advanced alien technology, but fortunately help comes in the unlikely form of another alien race, the Novus, who have been at war with the Hierarchy for Aeons. And don't even get us started on the Masari, a sentient alien race that have been here all along, last spotted when Atlantis was a mid-price holiday destination.
