Alpha Centauri is an absolute gem. Seven factions vie for power on an alien world. Each faction is divided by ideology. The mindset of each faction changes how it goes about dealing with the planet and its rival factions. Bear in mind that Planet itself is also a faction. This becomes more and more important as the game progresses. The game's voice acting and cut scenes are brilliant being at times creepy, thoughtful, funny and informative on the mindset of each faction. The game is still a product of the 20th century and is a spiritual successor to Civ III. The UI and graphics are thus dated. It is possible to achieve victory in a number of different ways.
