Maelstrom takes place on a devastated future Earth where, in the wake of an apocalyptic ecological disaster, the planet is threatened by an alien invasion. In this savaged world, water has become the most valuable of resources and divided the remaining humans into two factions. Now, they must wage war against the invaders and each other in a desperate struggle for supremacy and survival. The game's three playable factions are made up of the human race divided - the urban freedom fighting Remnants and the technologically advanced Ascension, plus the alien race, the Hai-Genti. These are superbly different factions, both in terms of theme and play strategy: Features: Command your troops from the classic RTS vantage point and play out your ultimate strategies.... ....then take control as you get in close and annihilate your enemies with direct control of the action, from a close up 3rd-person perspective. Terraform the landscape to alter play real-time and transform units on the fly, adapting them to deal with the situation with over 80 upgrade options. Three very different factions in terms of theme and play strategy. Control conventional weapons, futuristic high tech weapons and living weapons. Fully dynamic water, deformable terrain systems and destructible environments. Incredible visuals and fully bump-mapped high poly models. A multitude of unit options, get the most out of your army and tactics. Blockbuster sci-fi scenario devised by screenwriter James Swallow. Six-player multiplayer with full online matchmaking and ranking systems.

I bought this game a few weeks ago and have played it only few times due to it being really jumpy on my laptop with windows vista. The back of the box says this…
THE BATTLE FOR EARTH BEGINS

ON A SAVAGE FURURE EARTHM TWO REMAINING HUMAN FACTIONS MUST WAGE WAR AGAINTS VICIOUS ALLIEN INVADERS AND EACH OTHER IN A DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL.
The minimum specifications are as follows
Windows XP/DirectX 9c/Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or Athlon XP 2400+/512MB RAM/supported 64MB Graphics Card/ DirectX 9 compatible sound card/4.5 GB hard disk space/ 2x DVD-ROM drive
From what I have played this game is really good with loads of things to do and loads of weapons to choose from. it is a strategy game. The game was developed by code masters who are a really good company who made other games like Colin McRae rally and loads of other great games. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves strategy games.
