Ignore the moaners

Most people are giving this game 1-star reviews because; A: They are rabid MoO2 fanboys who can't accept change. B: They are having a heart attack about DRM. Well, i had a lot of fun with this game and give it 5 stars. Simple.

Amazing game

I see a lot of people aren't happy with this game but I have to say, I bought the collectors edition not long ago and haven't had much time to play it until today. I've never been one for turn based strategy games but I find this one to be very engaging and well done. It's easy to get into and there's nothing horribly hard about the game mechanics. It's fun to research new technologies and build up planets. Personally I find the fact you can terraform planets that are barely habitable into earth-like planets. It all takes time and patience but honestly the game is amazing. The combat is stellar in my opinion and I definitely cannot say anything bad about this game. Very well done and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would. I haven't played a game this good in quite a while and I can say honestly I'll keep coming back for more.

Does what it says on the tin

Im really enjoying this new Master Of Orion. It is pretty similar to MOO1 and MOO2 but I dont think this is a bad thing. As a turn based game it is a real time sink though
