How Metascores Are Calculated

Meteor showers rain down from above. Climate changes affect how weapons and vehicles function. Fog rolls in early during the morning obstructing view range. Weapons recoil after firing. And full warfare occurs beneath the surface of the earth. [Mattel Interactive]

My favourite touch is that your forces have only limited ammunition, while in many RTS games your guns seem to have an infinite supply of bullets.

PC Gamer
A first-rate RTS game that just may revitalize the genre. [Sept 2000, p.110]

GameZone
Three unique perspectives and a host of missions make this a program that can be played over and over again.

Adrenaline Vault
Earth 2150 has without a doubt escaped the dull shadow of its predecessor to emerge as a well-crafted, highly complex and beautiful game.

Game Over Online
Average AI and somewhat less-than-breathtaking graphics and sounds aside, it introduces some elements that I would like to see become part of the 3D RTS genre on a regular basis.

IGN
While it's not perfect, Earth 2150 is one of the finest examples of a classically-styled RTS I've seen in years, and I look forward to more out of TopWare in the future.
88
PC Gameworld
A fun RTS game that comes almost as a surprise considering how much hype Blizzard and Westwood RTS games generate.
81
GameSpot
Ultimately, Earth 2150 delivers complex and challenging gameplay - and even an absorbing story.
80
CNET Gamecenter
Introduces many new and interesting elements into the sometimes stale RTS genre; although it has a moderate learning curve, fans of the genre will want to pick this one up.

EuroGamer
The lighting system more than makes up for this lack of colour though, with pyrotechnic multi-coloured dynamic lighting, and full day and night cycles.

Happy Puppy
Cool, complex, and full of action, Earth 2150 extends the tradition of classic sci-fi RTS warfare with a few new twists.
78
GameSpy
It could have easily been a "great" game if more time was spent making the interface cleaner and less micromanagement was needed all around.
75
FiringSquad
If you can get past the brick-handed interface and get into the game itself, odds are you'll enjoy it.
75
Gaming Age
Topware Interactive has made a solid real-time strategy title with some interesting gameplay elements, but buyers should research a little and know what they are buying into before the final purchase.

Daily Radar
It's also great to see something as real-world integral as a searchlight become almost necessary in an RTS wargame.
70
All Game Guide
As fun and addictive as any of the high profile RTS games on the market.
70
Hot Games
The most interesting thing about the game is its very nice looking 3D engine.
70
GamePro
A game that looks and sounds great, but sometimes feels more like work than play.
70
Electric Playground
The most important thing to do before setting out to play Earth 2150 is to remember to synchronize your watch, because it does not count to be slow in this game, or things will burn up.
69
Spank!
There's a lot of gameplay here but most of it is either excruciatingly dull or annoyingly derivative.
60
Computer Games Magazine
While Earth 2150 clearly takes its inspiration from the best of the RTS breed, it fails to establish any identity that is clearly its own.
50
Game Revolution
A mixed bag of great ideas and poor implementation.
