    If you like Alpha Centauri, you'll definitely like this game (but be warned this game is long).

    I wouldn't say that this game is necessarily hard it's just that the computer can throw at you a lot of different stuff and if you can't do some micromanaging, you're going to be losing (or in my case, quitting the game ... Read Full Review

    The rave reviews are a bit confusing to me.

    By KellyMc26 | Review Date: Jun 02, 2008 | PC

    Don't get me wrong: As far as expansion packs go, this is a good one. Stardock simply engenders rabid loyalty because of that "extra mile" Brad Wardell and his team go to surpass many players' expectations. Some exampl... Read Full Review

    it is still a No-Go.

    I have reviewed GC2 before, so i wont repeat the things screwed up compared to Moo2. Last night i borrowed a copy from my friend and decided to give another shot (The gold version should have improved things eh?) But n... Read Full Review

    Galactic Civilizations final expansion, and clearly the best. If you're a fan of 4X games, you must play this game.

    By bob_harris | Review Date: May 10, 2008 | PC

    Usually, when you read the fluff on a game publisher's website, they focus on all the good, leaving out the slightest bit of bad. After all, who would willingly point out a game's flaws? When Stardock games wrote their... Read Full Review

    New, but more of the same...

    If you've never played Galactic Civ games, they are all good and this is no exception. For those who haven't played Galactic Civ games and are interested in a SINGLE PLAYER game, then buying Gal Civ 2 and this expansion... Read Full Review

    One of the most daring expansion packs ever

    By aggie_john | Review Date: May 08, 2008 | PC

    TA is the crowning acheivement of the gal civ series. It adds a special uniqueness that was missing from the previous expansion and original game. Each faction has its own tech tree and techs that give real depth to th... Read Full Review

    An over-looked masterpiece

    By jonwilles | Review Date: May 05, 2008 | PC

    If you think that chess is more rewarding than a round of Command and Counquer that twilight of the Arnor is the exactly the game your looking for. In my opinion this game is the jewel that alpha centauri was. The AI is... Read Full Review

    Galactic Civilizations II continues the legacy of classics such as Master of Orion and Sid Meier's Civilization series.

    By dc_alpha | Review Date: May 05, 2008 | PC

    Let's get something straight from the get-go: this game is now over two years old, yet I only recently purchased the game (March 2008). I now wish I'd invested in it sooner. GalCivII is one of the most engaging and we... Read Full Review

    A good game to spend your time with.

    By curseofpoopdog | Review Date: Feb 20, 2008 | PC

    Though I am not a fan of turn-based strategy games, I am now addicted to this game. After receiving a demo for this game i found my self playing more and more, even after the game auto-timed me out. I then continued to ... Read Full Review

    The Endless Game

    By decoy415 | Review Date: Feb 19, 2008 | PC

    I've long been a fan of the space combat sim, space strategy, and just any space game in general. This stems greatly from my years as a Star Wars fanatic. This was closely followed by Babylon 5, and most recently Battles... Read Full Review
