The problem i have found with gamepot reviews are that they are on a set date (usually the release date or slighty after). The problem with the gaming industry especially now that games are patchable (which they havent always been) is that games that arent finished on schedule are released anyways.. MMorpgs being the biggest criminals in this department.

The game is unplayable to me in its current state, Ive had it since release (around 3 weeks) and cant invade my 1st planet cause troops are so badly bugged they wont even fire.

However... all of the noticable bugs have been fixed and other minor bugs currently being rectifyed(the community is great and every change that has been implemented for the patch has been told to us on the forum so we know what to continue to complain about ) on the 7th the patch will be released.

The game is designed in such a way that its scope (especially with mods) is beyond measure.. the research trees are almost (with modding will be..) endless, there are literally near to an infinite number of ship setups u can make and all battles (space and land) can be played in RTS.

If u liked the 'masters of orion 'series or any space strategy game this will totally and utterly blow you away.. but yeah until the 7th nov this is bugged to ****

    When I first tried this game, I was a little hesitant. I looked at the reviews here and found that there were very mixed reactions. However, I do think that it's a fairly good game. In my opinion, what probably makes ... Read Full Review
