Galactic Civilizations 2: Twilight of the Arnor is one of the best expansions I have ever experienced in my many years of gaming.
It caps the mini-trilogy with a flourish and makes us very, very eager to see what the next proper release in the franchise will have to offer.

Instead of spending a lot of time to say WHY this game is GREAT, I'll just make a USEFUL review.
Look that the NEGATIVE reviews (only EIGHT as of march/2014). They are of people that either:
A) say that they don't like 4x
B) say that the game is too long (do you REALLY expect to conquer a GALAXY in a couple of hours?)
C) say that the game is bad because it only supports one language: English, although the review is in English.
D) says that he likes the old games better
E) reviews Galactic Civ II badly by saying that **** is not a complete game (may be he got the game in the bundle on steam, where both games came together). Man, THIS IS NOT THE GAME YOU ARE REVIEWING.
F) give irrelevant runts and never justify his grade
So, if not even the people that gave bad grades to the game could justify those grades, I can guarantee you that the game is worthy 10x the price asked today (US$ 10).

A true masterpiece ****, will keep you coming back longer than any other game. I dare say it is superior to Master of Orion. There's a huge amount of customization, ranging from completely modifiable races, to a map editor and the most utilitarian starship editor in a **** game fully supports mods, which increases the already immense replayability tenfold. Tons of humor, tons of random, interesting events...
It's just such a joy to play, pick this up some time!

If you love 4X games, this is the game to get. Due to all of the content, this game is the king of the hill in this genre.
There are no two ways about it: if you like space strategy games, you have to play Galactic Civilizations II. And if you play Gal Civ II, you have to play Twilight of the Arnor.
After so many iterations it's impressive that Stardock has maintained their standard of quality in this series.
Adding this much new life to what should be a very familiar game is an amazing achievement.
Twilight of the Arnor does an excellent job adding more meat to an already meaty game. It's a bit raw and bloody deep in the middle, but still quite satisfying.
A brilliant turn based 4X strategy game that still has no competition. The balancing of the game is awe inspiring. I had to stop playing this game and uninstall it because it took over my every weekend and every afternoon and I was starting to lose contact with friends. I don't believe there will ever be a GalCiv3 because quite simply no-one can think of a way to make this game better other than updating its graphics which are still fine.

All Flash, no bang.
Nice graphics overlay simple, not at all deep, game-play.
It's a step removed from a point and click adventure.
Desperate groupies try to hold this shallow title up to its better predecessors, and it's very irritating to play it and find out earlier games are miles ahead (in strategy and game play) of this game.

Maybe I just don't like 4x strategy games? I tried hard to get into this game, but it just all felt so pointless. There is a total lack of a compelling story in any of the game modes. Looking at the gameplay itself, everything felt like a tedious grind to me. Turn based strategy games can be a lot of fun (I've really enjoyed random stuff like Blood Bowl or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series), but other than the enjoyable music, Galactic Civilizations II just didn't "grab" me at all.
