I like this game, it's big, it's got an "endless" mode, which addresses one of my big issues with all such "God" games, in that once you've beaten it, the level ends. With this game, you can just set up a big map, and then tweak and tune to your hearts content. I'll admit it's not for everyone, the idea of doing a pop rush to create soldiers as opposed to a steel mill or bottle factory is probably more compelling to those that quick victory and bragging rights. But Like I said, I have "issues" with any kind of rush, I like to take my time and take in the scenery :) It is a very complex game, I rate it as hard, as if you dont actually plan, and lay in too much supply too soon it can really screw you up. It's a game of quiet contemplation, market research, and much use of the pause button. You cannot play this game real time, there is simply far too much detail and too much going on at any one time, (after 30-40 mins of play) for you to succeed or even cope with the pace once your ecconomy starts to get some kind of momentum. It's a game to play alone, that encourages deep thought and experimentation, a great sandbox in which to while away the hours. Why the review now, after so much time? My GFX card is on the way out so I've had to replace my Radeon 9700Pro with a Radeon 7000 (64Mb) while I await spares, so I'm looking through my collection looking for games that run well on a low spec card. Like I said, it's not for everyone, but for a pretty face on a complex spreadsheet it does rather well for itself. Free on a good many cover discs of late, seek it out.
