Little Let Down [Posted on 2008-01-27]
I was so excited about getting this game since it's precursor Star Trek: Encounters was so awesome! Unfortunately there are fewer ships, only two dimensions, and fewer options than "Encounters." Yet is has so much potential. If they added the upper and lower planes of motion and more freedom as to number of fleets, ships, and movement I would have given it five stars.

An ok game but fun enough [Posted on 2008-03-04]
I was going to give this three stars but then I reconsidered based solely on the fact that it is fun enough to play. It isn't that dynamic or cutting-edge but its relatively easy to pick up and play. The game manual is a bit vague (more so then usual for a turn-based game) so its not immediately clear what the special weapons do. If I had to do it again, I would buy it, but I would probably try to find a cheaper copy.

Fun, But Very Flawed - It's Empire or MOO for Kids [Posted on 2008-05-12]
This game is easy to learn and fun to play. After a few hours, it turns into a fancy game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

As a big fan of Interstel's Empire and Master of Orion I and II, I was disappointed

There are 3 fundamental problems with this game:

1) You can only have 3 fleets, which are basically the same thing as units. Can you imagine playing Empire or MOO with only 3 units for the entire game? It's insane! As soon as your fleet leaves to conquer a planet, the enemy moves in and steals one of your planets.

2) There is no build time, so once you get going, you can build EVERYTHING you need in one turn. So you can wipe out an ememy fleet and it's back to full strength on the next turn.

3) You get into situations where the game is an endless loop. They move their unit to steal your planet and then you move your fleet to where they just were, stealing their planet. It's a tie and the game NEVER ends, even if you have more planets.

With a little tweaking, this could have been an awesome game.

Great Game [Posted on 2008-06-21]
This is a very fun game. You need to get a little used to it, but after awhile it gets really fun. One of the reasons it is fun is because it is never the same. It always changes.

A tip on the game........
When you get into a battle, unless you are positive that you are going to win, select the "arcade" syle. It not only lets you have the fun of doing it, but it also came make the outcome change from what it would have been if you selected "sim" or "instant."
Overall this game is really fun. Hope you enjoy.
