Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Machines is a real-time strategy game, where you control a race of silicon-based life forms on a mission to seed and dominate new worlds. The game lets you command your forces from both an isometric third-person perspective and a free-roaming, ground-level view, but it will also let you jump into any of your units to steer it, aim it, and fire it. This feature will let you guide vital units deep into enemy bases--dodging defensive fire--and actually enter enemy facilities to steal or sabotage technology. All of this will be delivered in 3-D, with hardware acceleration required for the game's 3-D terrain, the fully polygonal units, and the dynamic lighting and environment effects. Machines offers everything you've been waiting for in a 3-D RTS game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work on Xp, April 18, 2003

I've played this game on Windows 98 and it was very fun. But I upgraded to Windows Xp and I can't play it at all. Acclaim is too lazy to make a Windows Xp patch. I gave it a four because when i had Win 98 it was so cool. Acclaim must make a patch!

I feel that it is an amazing game twisting the reality of war with an action packed stradegy game. It brings an incredible 3D enviroment inside your computer to the center of your mind. It is so realistic that it would almost be posible to touch the machines like you would hamsters. Combining future and fantasy together makes this master peice of a game a brilliant.
