Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack
Description
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ Planetary Pack includes the original Alpha Centauri and the expansion, Alien Crossfire.
Mankind begins its most monumental task: the colonization of space. A crew of internationally renowned scientists and security strategists, with wide-ranging convictions and diverse ethics, embarks on a mission that will change the world. One Planet. Seven unique factions. Which will you lead? Each faction has its own agenda, each leader a final goal. You must play to each strength and exploit each hidden weakness in your quest to rule the future.
Key features:
- Great spin-off of the legendary Civilization series, in a refreshing sci-fi setting
- Design your own units. Balance their speed, power, and toughness to suit your current tactical needs
- Seven factions to chose from, each with its own artificial intelligence model that creates a very suggestive feeling that you’re up against real people

No Nostalgia
Objective Review 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great gameplay. 4 of 5 great story average gameplay. 3 of 5 average story average gameplay. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favorite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist -1 of 5 avoid Sid Meir's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack Score is 4 of 5. Subjective Review I never played this back in the day. It caught my attention so I decided to give it a try. Much fun! I was surprised at how easy it was to catch on. At first it seems daunting, but as you play things become quite easy to manage. Just the right balance between micromanaging and at times letting your units control themeselves. I would've scored it 5 stars, but to me the Alien Crossfire content just seemed to be more of the same. If you're looking for a deep story with satisfying gameplay, you won't go wrong with the Alpha Centauri part.
