This games is based mainly on Starcraft, with some new features. The graphics are better and it supports resolutions up to 1024x768. Some people are complaining about the originality of the game. But as I see, they wanted to make a game joining many of the good features of the good strategy games of the market, and not a revolutionary product. This game was developed by a group of 8 people, while most of these kind of games are develop by 20 to 30 people. Thus, its quality is impressive. The AI of the game helps the gamer a lot, but also make the opponents much more efficient. The story behing the missions are interesting. To use this product, you don't need a super computer. Many games couldn't run properly on my P233, but the Outlive graphics appeared very, very smooth and fast.

Outlive is great!

I've bought Outlive's brasilian version, and I thought it is a grate game. Nice graphics, very strong IA. IMHO, Outlive is better than StarCraft, a "must have" game.

Great Starcraft clone!

This game is Starcraft clone and the developers did a great job doing it. I like how you control all those spaceships. I usually only use spaceships and they are pretty cool. Although, I think Starcraft is better and more original, this game is worth it. Just think of it as an expanision for Starcraft. The requirements are low just like Starcraft and the gameplay seems easy and great to me. The graphics are amazing and it runs pretty smoothly. The sounds are OK and the there are no bugs or anything. This game is must have for any RTS fans unless you don't like the idea of copying Starcraft. I think they did a good job trying to be like Starcraft. This game can be just as satisfying as Warcraft or any other RTS as well. Overall this game will keep you entertained for few weeks if not for months and this game is definitly recommended for all RTS gamers and Starcraft fans.

A Fun addictive little game, 3 senerios of Humand Vs Robot, Robot Vs Human and Human working with Robot Vs Enemy.

If you Love StarCraft, you will like this game alot! Very similar, click on character repeatedly and get funny saying out of them, build up forces and technology and wipe out the opposition. Mainly a fight for resources to build your forces up and attack the other guy like StarCraft,it is challenging to find the right combiation of forces to defeat heavy units of both sides. Good storyline, Not as many missions as StarCraft but fun anyway, game editor to create new games and online multiplayer capability.

Only 2 species, Human and Robot (if robot can be considered a species?) but the combined missions are fun as you may decide to sacrifice one force to keep the other. ADVICE: Air Units take out heavy ground forces, antiair ground units take out air forces, you need both to survive. Technology is fun, but a quick strike with massive ground units can take out anyone, unless you wait too long and their defenses can beat your puny tech units. For the Price, you can't beat it for strategy fun!

not worh it

When you can get Starcraft for less, why spend $ on Outlive? Its basically Starcraft 1 1/2. A few modifications, support for higher resolution, and bad sound don't add up to that cost. Wait til its in the bargain bin and then give it a try.

I think the company would have been better off working with Blizzard on another mod pack for Starcraft.
