Summary: A Solid Masterpiece
Review: I want to compliment this game in many ways. The main point of the game that will hit one first are the graphics(produced by the Walker Engine) high polygon counts, exceptional lighting effects, marvelous attention to detail, and no glitches are all welcomed effects. The gameplay is solid and very attractive, I find the control scheme smooth but others have said it is tricky to use; The only problem (in the entire game)is the camera movement and this is easy to deal with it it just takes a little time. The story is very engrossing and well thought out the cutscenes are simply breathtaking; though at some points in time even the game had me thinking I was in a movie....I highly recommend this game over O.R.B., Homeworld (highly outdated), and Star Trek 3...this game IS in full 3D.

Summary: This game is truly awesome
Review: I've only played the demo but I intend to buy it because the graphics are right out of the hubble space telescope and the engine is awe inspiring. I love the zoom feature even though it took a while to get used to. However once I learned how to play I was addicted to the space combat. I love the tactics, the way you can hide behind planets with an armada and strike down innocent traders who go to earth. This is a must buy and beats most other space rts games hands down.

Summary: It's not Homeworld 2
Review: It may not be Homeworld 2 but it's a great way for 3D space RTS fans to get their regular 'fix'. The game may lack polish, but makes up for it in sheer fun.

The pace is slower than Homeworld, and the combat system is much better than O.R.B. But it's different enough from both to stand on its own. Some of the other reviewers here do not seem to have have read the help/manual or they'd have found the very functional starmap built in.

The graphics are better than functional. Ship detail may not be as good as Homeworld, but the space field effects are spectacular. The voice acting is very weak, and the plot seems makeshift. The research tree is as detailed as you would want it to be.

Strategic placement of units, use of spies and the combat system is where this game shines. The mobile bases are devastating in their power. The unit population limits are set fairly low for each mission, but each ship comes with enough firepower to make that irrelevant.

Definitely recommended for sci-fi RTS fans. Users new to this genre should start with Homeworld.

Summary: Hegemohia Legions of Iron
Review: Save your money!!!! The graphics are great but the game ...! The single player mode is linear and boring. It is also buggy. In the multiplayer mode every time I try to play a scenerio the game freezes up and I have to restart my computer. I contacted the games tech support and the suggestion they gave me to correct it did not work. They also told me that other players are having the same problem. Please, save your money for something else. I wish I had!

Summary: Ground Control Part 2
Review: The game sucks. It is similar to Ground Control but in space. It is extremely hard since there is no map. Finding out what you have to do although challenging, is not in the typical part of being in a civilized world. Most advanced races have sometthing called technology, and to have a map is the first thing people usually do.

All in all the game moves smoothly if your machine can take it. It will be buggy if it can't. Make sure you have some cool graphic hardware and enough RAM to hold an artillery strike on your hard drive. A must buy for any sci-fi RTS fan, it still deserves to be passed up and thrown in the garbage can.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Haegemonia - a new game from Digital Reality
Review: The name of the developers is already a guarantee for an outstanding space-simulation, and they show their skills as animators too. If you like space, war, and to use your brain, you should buy this!

Summary: Broken Game
Review: This game is broken, so don't waste your money on it. It's obvious that Dreamcatcher didn't do a propper QA on it. Trying to load saved missions will result in crashes. I did find that if you play the campaign missions from start to finish and just use the auto start save or the the in mission auto save to reload missions then crashes can be avoided. Just don't bother making your own save line. Also in one of the later missions you have to explore an unknown entity station from a lost race. The station has unbeatable defences. The mission says not to do any research until told too. During the mission you get some incomplete research from a different race and when you do all the research in that line you get a device that supposed to let the entity station think your a friend. To bad none of your ships can equip the device. You can't finish the mission and the game ends here. This game is broken and the company should be forced to reimburse the money they took for it or post an online patch to fix it.

Summary: A Feast for the Eyes
Review: This is a great game. It's a wonderful real-time strategy game, which is what it claims to be. Hegemonia is not an empire-builder, and it never claims to be.

The interface is not very intuitive. That is to say, it does not work like other games in the same genre, or 3d games in general. If you look at the manual, though, where they explain moving the camera, it suddenly makes sense. I can move my fleets or my camera wherever I would like, effortlessly.

Visually, the game is absolutely stunning. Watching the battles are like watching Babylon 5, in real-time, on your PC. Wonderful particle effects, location-specific damage, and the most beautiful explosions you've seen on your PC to date make it really difficult to decide whether to watch a battle up-close and personal or back up to see the whole panoramic view. Each is equally impressive.

The camera is always smooth, zooming and panning to your destination. The only time there is a hard cut is when you switch solar systems.

Their system of multiple solar systems divided by static jump points is a great way of providing different fronts for your battles, and being able to decide what planets to colonize and what static and mobile defenses to build.

What I think is best of all is that this game is simple. There isn't a huge involvement in learning to play the game, and it's not so simple that, once you know how to move your ships around, you can just jump in a start playing. Everything fits together to make the game not only a fun real-time strat, but a full multimedia experience. I've had a remarkable time playing the game in the first two weeks I've owned it, and I look forward to a long time replaying it at higher skill levels.

Summary: hegemonia:legions of iron
Review: This is very good game it has devolped graphic qualty and the in-game atmospheare is very good a few bad things are very bad mpgame and a very little number of options in instant game or skirmish.There are a few maps but they are not enough for a player who wants to play skirmish.Spgame is interesting but game i little bit slow and i would like to make it go fast so i push buton for speed increasing and it says:``+1 +2 +3 +4 +5`` but it still goes very slowely and thats is the most important thing to keep player by the computer...Garfield:)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Takes too long
Review: Too slow to develop, you can only play two pre-structured campaigns with no options in the single player mode to start a new campaign. Graphics could make you car sick, it did me. To move from one campaign level to the next you have to complete selected goals. In the 4th level I could not get out, just kept flying around with everything destroyed. Game will not let you out. Manual is minimal, you need to keep going to the system help screen to get information to play the game.
