Summary: There are better games then this one...
Review: This game has great graphics and fair game play. It is very boring after you have been playing it after a few weeks. If you dont have the rank, you dont get good enough ships to compete with the players established in the game already, and there isnt much you can do to survive on the big servers otherwise. This game requires that you are a member of a BIG fleet or you cant really do anything but give someone else points for killing you.

This game is all about team work. There is nothing for single players to do. Trade in the game isnt worthwhile, and the missions really dont do much for you. Most of the little guys (lower levels) are used by the big players. Ie.. to help them grow in levels, though you do get some points for helping them.

If you do play on the big metaverse servers, there tends to be a lot of lag when there are a lot of players playing. Certain types of ships tend to lag the game a some even with a big computer (I have a P4 1.6meg with 768Meg ram, Gforce4 video. If you have the minimum requirements, you will not enjoy the game unless you really turn off some of the graphic setting. ( not a lot you can turn off or on )

This game is not as expensive to buy at first, but the $.$$ monthly fee is a bit stiff for this kind of game when you consider the other online games there that are better, Like Earth and Beyond.

My suggestion would be to move on to a better game if you are into this Genre.

Summary: The only game you'll ever need!
Review: This game has single handedly restored my faith in pc gaming. My PS2 is quietly gathering dust as we speak and I've been neglecting my girlfriend. Do I need to say anymore????

Think Homeworld and add everything that you thought should have been in the game and then some. And when you join the online community, the game will simply blow you away.

Basically, you control a ship (be it a combat ship, an engineering ship, a repair ship, a scout.....the list goes on) and have to conquer the galaxy against two other races. The beauty of the game is in its balance because in order for your race to be successful, you have to use all of the ships at your disposal.

Make sure you've got plenty of spare time, because this game will be taking up all of it.
