Summary: Hope you have lotsa time on your hands.
Review: This game has a super thick book full of instuctions and with everything there is to control, build, and change, this game can be overwhelming. It takes forever to learn what each function is and to read the instruction book. This game is a case of a little too much. A friend I work with had played Civilization 2 which is another Sid Meier game that did exceptionaly well, but after he played this game for 2 weeks, he gave up. there was just too much stuff to learn and what certain things did was not clearly described which left alot of guessing. What he and I did learn while playing the game was that the story was good, the graphics are good, and the game was well thought out. But the overwhelming things you had to learn just took it's toll which probably explains the lackluster sales of this game.

Summary: OK BUT I'VE PLAYED BETTER
Review: This game I won in a contest. It is alright, although the instruction book is huge. It is alright for this price though. A game much better but a bit like this is Age of the Empires 2. It's great. The game takes up about 50 MB small installation. It does take a while to complete a game though. Unlike games where after an hour you're done. I say it's Alright.

Summary: Its ok
Review: This game is complex its not even fun to find out all the options. What is anoying is that when u in middle of the game u have so many units and u have to give a command to every single one of them, yes u can automize them but that will do no good to ur military units. Some times if ur lucky the gamefun will be 3 stars but most of the levels i played turnd out to be boring either i lost fast or it was 2 easy. Also sometimes when the game is over anyways and one of the leaders has clearly won, the game still goes on for an hour. Dont forget the game is more then 3 years old get something better for ur money for example:"Warlords Battlecry" or "Cossaks European Wars". I dont recommend this game though its not catastrophic either!

Summary: A Classic. No, really.
Review: This game takes the Civilisation genre that its author created years before and puts the final polish on it.The mechanics of the game are rich. Times past i have wished that someone would take one of the fantastically detailed strategy board games like "World In Flames" or "Fire In The East" and automated their mechanics via computer. Then I have remembered that Alpha Centauri is that game. I cannot say how many days of my life have been poured into this game. They were entertaining, that I can say without doubt.

Summary: Alpha Centauri
Review: When I first bought the game I knew nothing about it but the box looked pretty cool. The game is addicting but only while you're playing it. The first night I had it one of my friends started playing it and continued all the way into the night till around 4:00 a.m.. You'll probably play for a couple of hours the first time you play but you won't be motivated to play a second time after that. The game is just too complicated the instruction manual is a novel and there are no cool videos.
