Rating: Summary: One of the best games ever Review: WOW! This game is absolutely amazing, the graphics are pretty good, the action is almost too much to handle at times. The other reviewer is sorely mistaken. I had no manual and I easily found out how to use this game. You left click to select and right click to make the unit move and attack. If you right click on the unit, you will be able to select from a whole menu of choices like weapons, pick a weapon, then right click on an enemy unit to attack. When you click on a unit a picture of the unit appears in a box in the bottom center of the screen, this is a real-time display of the unit too. If you hit F3 the picture takes the place of the tactical overlay and the tactical overlay in put in the picture's old spot. Hit F1 to get a handy help menu which tells you which buttons do what.I have found that YOU CAN CHANGE THE TACTICAL OVERLAY. What I mean is that instead of looking at the little "Blue dots" the other guy was talking about, you can see little pictures of the ships. THESE PICTURES ARE CHEESY. But if you want to change them, simply right click on the tactical overlay, without anything selected and a menu will pop up, select 3-D icons, and you will get the little pictures. The yellow dots are unknowns and if you select a unit then right click on the yellow dot it will identify it, however your unit must first move in close enough to see the yellow dot, if the dot changes to green it is neutral, if it changes to red, then it is enemy. Bottom line this game is addictive and fun, this was my first game of this sort of set-up and it is easy to use, I hope I helped you out with this review.
