And I was retarded enough to buy this

Today, on the 4th March 2012. After all the years, and seeing the EXTENSIVE mods available from the community, I figured it might have gotten better. Moo2 was never complex enough for my taste. But I was WRONG. This game sucks. I even made the mistake of buying it on a different website, don't know why I forgot looking here first. Installing a fan patch is not compatible with the download, it regularly crashes, it is frustrating beyond belief with it's senseless complexity; Why would you, as a Designer, go through the effort of creating an immensely accurate Planet control simulation unseen back then, if you extect the player to automate it so much that you don't actually give the option to do it themselves? There's literally technologies you can't NOT research, unlocking buildings that you can't choose not to build, even if you shut off all Automation AI..... wtf? I'm just sad I didn't buy it on GoG, I will never find out if the mods would work here, but I just can't justify to myself buying it twice when the first time I already expected to regret, and was proven right for once. Crap, this game sucks.

One of the most over-hyped, yet worst games every made!

First, a little history. MOO2 - purchased at GOG, own the disc, and have many hundreds of MB in add-ons and updates - was and is one of the best 4X space games ever made. It has strategy, tactical combat, endless tech tree, ship design, decades of replay variety, humor, challenge, alternative ways to win, etc. In other words it struck a perfect balance with all the main "wants" a gamer might have for such a game. It was an archetype that helped define the 4x space strategy game genre. And it was fun, so much so that the late game micro-management grind that tends to bog down and unhorse such games from delusions of grandeur did but little to shoebox this game into the forgotten past. Much like Heroes of Might and Magic III, it was not perfect, but about as perfect as a game of its ilk could be. And has withstood the test of time. But NOT this game, MOO3. Read the media hype and falsehoods for years before buying it, had a bad gut feeling, but still bought it. Almost like when considering Heroes V of Might and Magic, another mega-turd. It was MOO, how could one not buy it? When I saw planets and ships that didn't look right, more like soap bubbles and those little plastic flags they put in your steak at Ponderosa, I knew there was something horribly wrong. I delved into the meat of the game to find the diplomacy, ship design, options... and was greeted with a massively obtuse and unintuitive menu system (GUI). In MOO2, what took a few clicks, now took an atlas, prayer, and luck. And the game wasn't fun. At all. And the humor wasn't funny. And the AI has the strategic genius of a Roomba. What a disaster, a complete sham. I feel sorry for anyone involved in wasting their lives programming this waste of magnetic media, and even more so for those who paid money for it, including myself, who have been better off investing with Bernie Madoff than purchasing this game. At least Madoff is exposed to some sort of justice, however weak, and your gut feeling of "too good to be true" could be backed by many people who probably "told you so." Well, I am telling you so now. Buy this game to support GOG, or as a collector to complete your space game or MOO collection, but no matter what, don't buy it to relive the glory days of MOO2, those are past history.

Great game for sci-fi relaxing

I really enjoy this game when I feel like a few minutes feeling productive and influential in a science fiction setting. Competent AI assistants and regents could handle any of the details of the simulated colonization/exploration scenerio that I encountered while playing, allowing you to focus on the parts of the game you enjoy the most without the situation falling apart as it does in some other titles (including previous entries in the series, apparently). A valuable game to look at if only for the art and interface design, which might be the best that I've seen in a computer strategy game.
