Title: Did they forget to put the fun in?
Review: This game seems like a near-clone of Alpha Centauri, but set in a galaxy instead of on a planet. The basic structure of the game is virtually identical, but the major difference is the lack of fun. There is no sense of humor and no cool videos. And the competing races are not at all memorable. Without these elements of entertainment I very quickly felt like I was just reverse engineering a computer program.Also there are holes in the playability of the game. Several times I got stuck in a state where I had no resources to do anything and I just sat there turn after turn with nothing happening, waiting to be overwhelmed by other teams. It was not at all clear what I had done wrong.Good concept and technically sophisticated. Just not fun.
