  • Summary: Any "Futurama" fanatics out there need another hit of space humor? Rebuild and manage a giant 2001-esque space donut/station and attract a variety of alien species to it in a game that plays like the deep space version of "Dungeon Keeper."

    Humour - GOOD humour - is hard to get across in entertainment software, but Startopia succeeds in not only being a fun game, but a funny game.

    Seems almost like a combination of many of the best management sims to date.

    A stellar strategy/simulation game with incredible depth and detail — but it may turn off some players with its steep learning curve.

    It looks like someone put a lot of effort in to this game. It also looks like they really had a thing for space.

    Spectacular graphics with a challenge of brains. Each race is needed to operate something so it makes it harder but funner.

    Amazing Sim/RTS. So much fun and personality. Two minor problems for me: steep learning curve (the manual is useless) and, like many of these earlier types of games, no pause. Grrr... The world is so beautiful, sometimes I just want to sit back for a minute and admire it without pressure. 10 years later and this game makes most other games of it's type look like amateur hour. Fairly deep strategy and wonderful personality. I actually had more success learning and enjoying the game by starting in on a sandbox game rather than the 'tutorial' missions -- just set everything on easy and it's a great way to learn. ("easy' settings were in patch 1.1 I believe).… Expand
