I've put in 25 hours so far. I love this game. Like others, I was a fan of Master of Orion 1 and 2. I just don't understand what people dislike that's causing them to give it a low rating - this is amazing, beautiful, cinematic, the characters are delightfully voiced. "I wish graphics were all it took" = nonsense. This isn't just graphics...!! The whole gameplay is fine and a big improvement on MOO 2 (and 1, obviously). The AI is good. The ONLY critique I give any credence to is that it'd be nice if you could redirect ship production so all the ships go to some point when they're created. Seriously though, what the f**k is wrong with everyone? Install the game. Try playing the Psilons first. You'll be delighted.
