I bought this game in the hopes of getting a revamped version MoO 2 - maybe with a new gimmick or two. What I got was a "streamlined", i.e. dumbed-down, version of a much better game. It looks very beautiful but it's hollow... The combat has been completely gutted; designing your own ships has become trivial, the tactical element has been removed from the space battles. The battles were half the fun of the original game! Avoid this at all costs, if you've played MoO 2 and loved it like me. You will be unbelievably disappointed with this. Spend your money on something else.
