Simply one of the best games I've ever played.
Gameplay- Some games might have had trouble making the ship movement in 3D work, but this game executes it nearly flawlessly.
Graphics- The graphics were incredible, and when I found out how old the game was, I couldn't believe it. The visuals are amazing, especially when you zoom out in the middle of a large battle and see your ships doing battle against a nebula backdrop.
Sound- Perfect. The music is hauntingly empty, yet at the same time beautiful. Perfectly befitting of the space theme. The battle music is well done, it provides an exciting theme without being overwhelming like it can be in some games.
My favorite part of this game was the single player campaign, the story was epic and well presented in the cutscenes and throughout the missions. Furthermore, it was the first game that actually made me feel like I needed to finish the the game and get these people to their rightful home. In short if you want amazing RTS, buy this game. If you want an immersing story, buy this game. If you just wamt a somewhat unique game experience, than by all means buy this game. -Simply Amazing-
