    Playing the game is a blast and it sure looks great... On a deeper level, where most strategy gamers like to think they exist, the game suffers from oversimplification of both command and control features.
  2. A great game for those of us either, cursed with dial up connections, or the inability to constantly pay for games that feature persistent worlds.

    It's visually stunning with a decently thought-out control system, and reasonably balanced mission scenarios. It only falls down where it tries to be too clever with its simple approach, taking away control where players might prefer to keep it.

You cannot set formations for fighters like in Homeworld, but the AI is pretty decent, in fact pretty good given the state of PC gaming AI (versus graphics, sound, marketing, etc.). Expand

    Game had a lot of potential, but finding and managing the units it's a nightmare. This get worse worse when you micro manage more than oneGame had a lot of potential, but finding and managing the units it's a nightmare. This get worse worse when you micro manage more than one battle field without visibility of what's happening. Message about ships being attacked are not complemented with information or a way to get there. No formations, no guard ship options. Not worth to invest time on this one. Expand
