Inside Mac Games has posted a new review of TopWare Interactive's Planets Under Attack. The space-faring strategy game gives players the chance to wage interplanetary war against computer AI or human opponents. Planets Under Attack features a single player campaign with 32 missions, 18 Skirmish and online multiplayer levels, 3 difficulty levels, and a variety of gameplay modes.

Here's an excerpt:

It's the same old numbers game from the early ages of gaming, only with travel time and upgrades. You have a series of planets, each with a corresponding upgrade level, and you send troops from a planet you control to capture them. These troops regenerate at a speed determined by the levels of your planets. When the objective for the level is met or all enemies are dead, you win. You also have special planet types you can capture like those with guns to shoot spaceships out of the air, money planets that increase how many troops you can attack with over time, and a couple others. In the end, all you do is send troops to capture early, defend your troop generation advantage, and overwhelm the computer in the long term.
