Very addictive, it will keep you making those turns even past your bed-time.
Very addictive, it will keep you making those turns even past your bed-time. This game is superb, the best strategy game I've played so far. It's like civilizations but put in space. The manual may not be so informative ... Read Full Review

Master of Orion Flashbacks Anyone?
One of my favorite games of all time is Master of Orion and Master of Orion 2. MOO 3 was a decent game but went in a different direction than 1 & 2. This game takes the best elements of MOO 2 and gives you a whole new ... Read Full Review

This is the MOO3 we all wanted!
Well, having played a full game, I can heartily say it's *awesome*. It really is the MOO III we were expecting, and then some. All the 'sacred cows' that MOO II has invented are there and my favorite... ship building... Read Full Review

Turn based games always had appeal to me since Alpha Centauri, Civ, and Master of Orion. But the long absence of anything spectacular the past few years made me think the genre was dead. Till this game warped in last wee... Read Full Review

I am a great fan of Gal Civ 1 and could not wait for this one. This is a great follow up, but you have to give a chance.
The first Gal Civ was a tremendous game. The constant upgrades by the developer was greatly appreciated. I was concerned that this would be all flash and no substance with the graphics improvements and I was concerned th... Read Full Review

I was very happy to have purchased this game! Its not often I get a game I can play well out of the box. Its a very quick learning curve to be up and playing this game, but there are a ton of features you'll be using... Read Full Review

Galactic conflict at its finest.
Like most strategy buffs, I immediately snagged Civ IV when it arrived but was somewhat disappointed by the predictable end-game and the unrealistic claims to multiple paths to victory (I feel that a victory in Civ IV *a... Read Full Review

If you are a fan of turn based games, I recommend you purchase this one immediately.
Galactic Civilizations 2 truly is a game built for gamers. It not only allows you to create a universe to explore, it lets you determine how you take control of it. For the first time in recent memory, you can truly wi... Read Full Review

An absolute triumph, an engaging space strategy epic that Master of Orion fans have been praying for.
The turn-based strategy genre has always been rather esoteric; consequently, the so-called "4X" style of space strategy games is even more so. Those of us who love these games hold dear our DOS copies of Master of Orion ... Read Full Review

A "masterpiece"? Not even close. Maybe I'm spoiled by Civilization IV, but this game is disappointing.
Am I the only one who finds this game poorly executed, boring, and uninspiring? My first impressions were rather poor. The interface is clunky and badly designed. Nothing feels intuitive... you have to dig around to f... Read Full Review
