Title: Buggy and boring
Review: I was really looking forward to this game. I remember the first Reach for the Stars and how much I love the game, and I find it truly depressing that it's image has been tarnished with this title. The game crashes repeatedly, has image glitches, and scratchy sound. The technology tree is almost pointless since the technologies of the latest "era" completely supplant the previously researched technologies. There is so little variety or options for error in this area that you can rely entirely on the production and technolgy queues...which basically means that you spend the game moving fleets around and fighting battles. Since the battles are essentially just a series of choosing the formation and hitting end turn...it gets boring extremely quickly. If you want a good space strategy game, go buy a copy of Master of Orion II...this one wasn't worth the wait.
