I love turn based strategy and this ranks right up there with the best of them
Learning Curve- Im with nearly everyone else- ive spent plenty of time playing these sorts of games and normally I jump in and start playing for a bit and then read a few of the instructions and gradually get a better understanding of the game-I couldnt just do that with this game- i spent a lot of time watching the tutorials and reading about the game before it was any fun.
Gameplay- I love the turn based strategy game- and add space ships that you can customize and and starbases and I love an influence victory every know and then theres the ... you get the picture- There is a reason I gave gameplay a 10 and also gave reviewer's tilt a 10. Maybe Im biased but i love this game.
Graphics/Sound- well- i certainly didnt play this game for these.. when the game first starts running I was like 'dang cool music" except that its the same music the whole time- like one song.... so now- after playing for a while- I have officially turned OFF the music... to bad and the graphics arent anything to write home about- but the planets look cool out there in space and the map is fun to play with so I was probably easy on it but I liked it.
Value- sort of related to gameplay in that as a strategy game there are a milliion different setups and paths to victory. Im not a big fan of the campaign but who cares- the rest of the game is great.
