A bit like buying a Rolls Royce and finding the engine missing!

Where to start?! This has the potential to be a great game - as a strategy gamer there is so much to like about this game. The mechanics are ambitious and there is a real feel of a world market economy which is sadly lacking in other rivals. War feels immersive with a need to focus on attrition and supply mechanics which for some may be a negative but I love the complicated nature of the game.

So why the low score?

It's very very broken - the game crashes on a regular basis and many of the features are not working. It becomes laborious constantly having to go back to previous turns to get the game working and on occasions I've found that the only saved game that works is about 5 saves earlier. I've even found myself scrapping games that I've played for 20 hours plus just because I can't get a saved game to work. This makes it completely unplayable in it's current state.

To make matters worse when I sent details of my broken game twice to the ageod's support site I didn't even get a reply.

I would say more about the good things but to be honest I'll wait until there is a complete product. I've purchased many games in an incomplete state but to be honest this is by far the worse.
