I would put it right up there with Civ4, both just dominating the TBS genre right now. Basically if you like Sci-Fi and turn base strategy games GalCiv2 is the game for you. If you where a fan of Masters of Orion 2 (not moo3) then GalCiv2 is just what the doctor ordered, it’s not exactly the same but similar and just better. Most importantly it has the same addictive qualities but does so with state of the art graphics and with tons more depth.

I don’t think most people know this but GalCiv2 really doesn’t have a polygon limit, so in essence you can make ships that are thousands of ploys and import them right into the game. The game was built from the ground up to be extremely modable, I just can’t wait for the star wars and star trek mods to come out. This also adds to the lasting appeal of GalCiv2 since with no poly limit this game will just keep getting better graphically as you update your PC’s.

I downloaded the game directly from Stardock without any problems, in fact I was amazed at how smooth and easy it was.
