Summary:
A great gME HOWEVER i HAD THIS GAME IN 1998 BUT NAOW i GOT CRAZY WITH IT SO i GOT THE NEWER VERSION how incredible this game is it's the best game I've played the easy levels are fun since you get to turn your enemy into charred skeletons. oh yeah there are a fw codes I'll tell you go to my review at adrenaline vault! UPrising tough needs 3dfx but you dont need too even without 3dfx you can still play it solid what a great game do they even have uprising 2? oh yes lead and destroy you fight the imperiums and kick ass with your superwaraith tank buy the bfm 9000 if you want to kick ass.

Summary:
This game even works under NT5 (Beta 2).In-depth strategy mixed with total 3D immersion (wait until a bomber comes overhead - you really are THERE)I love Red Alert, but this is a whole league better.Make sure you have a 3Dfx chipset and you will enter a new realm of war.Looking forward to Uprising2.

Summary:
Uprising is one of my favorites it is kind of like a quake, twisted metal, red alert crossover. It doesn't involve mazes but I wouldn't go so far to say you don't need your brains for this, it involves a lot of strategic thinking in the way you put your buildings and tanks. PC gamer rules!

Summary:
Uprising would appear to be the first game in what will become a flood of variations on the theme of real-time-strategy (RT.) games such as Command and Conquer and Warcraft. Instead of controlling your minions from above these games put you on a 3d battlefield directing your troops and harvesting resources from a first person perspective. Activision have Battlezone planned and there are a host of other similar games waiting in the sidelines.
Uprising succeeds in adding to the RTS game not only through the use of 3D graphics but also shifting the emphasis from strategy to action. It doesn't have the fast action of Quake nor the strategic depth of C&C but the gameplay is well balanced. This may not be everyone's cup of tea. But if you like the idea of Quake mixed with Command and Conquer then this should appeal. The graphics are ok but by no means great, and the sound is passable, but once you start playing the game the thrill of commanding a battle can really go to your head! The multiplayer game is also great fun. although it can on occasion turn into a set of one on one deathmatches. Overall this game is well above average, but it may be facing tough competition from other games fairly soon.
