The amount of customisable options there are is amazing. When you start a game there are hundreds of combinations you can have, e.g. size of galaxy, amount of hospitable planets, anomilies, stars, victory conditions, technology rate, etc, etc... Then there are ten races to choose from, ranging from war-mongering Drengins, to the noble Arceans. You can even design your own ships, and make them for a certain purpose, e.g. for speed, for invasions etc... The only bad thing about this game is the lack of multiplayer, but because the A.I. are do good, it almost makes up for it. Gal civ 2 is very addictive, even more so than Civ IV I think, and you just keep coming back for more. BUY IT NOW!!!
