He wrote I want to have fun in my space exploration and conquer games. I want it to LOOK GOOD. I want multiplayer. So you have to ask yourself, why does GalCiv II, a game that looks like it stepped out of 1989 and is about as fun to play as running your knuckles on a cheese grater, get all these glowing reviews? Simple, its press and its marketing. Gal Civ II, while "OK" is not as much fun as this game and for sure it is not as good looking. You have to have both, and if you hate setting tax levels and the stupid tech system in Gal Civ, then SOTS is for you. Devin_C review here summed it up best i agree, the battles in Gal Civ2 are just crap, even if u set options > full battles, i want to COMMAND my ships in a battle not just watchin them teh difficulty is difficult but gets easier when u have played the game in a wile and its easy to learn
Best game for RTS and TBS fans!
