What Gamespot Users have to say about Starport: Galactic Empires

• Rating:6.5

  Starport: Galactic Empires is surprisingly addictive for its seemingly lacklustre graphics and game play.

  Starport: Galactic Empires aspires to a lot. Its theme and the ideas that drive it are very similar to eve online, and in a fight it's likely that Starport would come off the worst. However, that aside, Starport is in fa... Read Full Review

  Like work? Play this.

  By mi64 | Review Date: Oct 29, 2008 | PC

  If you consider "work" fun, play this. Don't waste your time. Good game in concept, but elite players/cheaters ruin it for EVERYONE. New servers are started all the time, but these players kill it off within a few weeks... Read Full Review

  Originally i gave this game a very favorable review however due to the lack of good updates it has become more of a work ethic simulator, its now like trying to get to lvl 70 by fighting lvl 2 goblins only without the fa... Read Full Review

  It's free, that is it's best feature.

  By Kingmoonraiser | Review Date: Aug 03, 2008 | PC

  Stay away from this game. Starport GE at the onset is quite a bit of fun. You get to fly your little fighter/transport around a massive galaxy ferrying people around and trading commodities in a simple buy low sell high ... Read Full Review

  The whole game is nothing more than a template for imagination and content it's you who fill the gaps not Playtechtonics

  It has a nice concept, good framework but is still to this day years later without substance. The developers constantly nerf the game and come out with patches that hurt those who actually have "Empires". It's... Read Full Review

  Very good 2D space sim with a good community and good gameplay, but the graphics and sound are somewhat lacking.

  By communist4 | Review Date: Jan 05, 2007 | PC

  Starport GE takes a while to get into, but the simple gameplay, easy to use Starpedia and friendly community make the playing and learning time enjoyable and fun. The stunning complexity is truly a wonder to behold, eac... Read Full Review

  A revelation among mmo's and possibly the best free game around. You'll be stunned and you'll be shocked by the quality.

  By D_MadAce | Review Date: Jul 06, 2006 | PC

  This is a unique game. Especially among mmo's. Some mmo's claim to be that one game that will get you hooked and will inspire you to go beyond yourself. But StarPort is the real deal. It started out as a game in which t... Read Full Review
