A 4X players dream! If you like a Civilization type game give this a try.
Galactic Civilizations 2 is an impressive, addictive, and most importantly fun, addition to the 4X genre. Gal Civ 2 is an eXplore eXpand eXploit eXterminate (4X) type of game, similar to the Civilization games in many... Read Full Review

This takes the orginal to a new level. Better graphics, better gameplay, better everything!
The original GalCiv was a great game in it's own rights. This sequal takes that formula and adds to it rather than changing it at all. The graphics aren't a perfect 10 but definetly on par or even better than games lik... Read Full Review

A Turn Based Strategy game at its best. Tons of fun and you may never sleep again.
When it comes to TBS games what you want to look for is good Gameplay. And GalCiv2 gives you just that. Graphics and sound are not critical to a TBS but GalCiv2 threw in a new engine and they made it work nicely wit... Read Full Review

A masterpiece of the genre that you won't be able to stop playing, after all a few more turns wouldn't hurt!
Galactic Civilizations 2 improved since its first version, but not as much as you believe it did. I would call Galactic Civilizations 2 a big expansion pack of the first version that brings mostly new content to it, main... Read Full Review

The graphics and shipbuilding aspects of the game are superb!
Stardock has done a superb job with the graphics and shipbuilding aspects of the game. The multiple ways to build a ship and make it unique is very intriguing and fun!! At the same time, the ability to create fleets ma... Read Full Review

Everything I hoped MOO3 would be, but better. This game oozes style.
After several hours of playing I am thoroughly impressed. If you're a fan of 4X games (Stars!, MOO, etc.) you _have_ to pick this up. It's tough to assign "instant classic" to a game only 3 days after release. But this g... Read Full Review
