  Galactic Civilizations II: Gold Edition Demo

  Doesn't live up to hype

  Pros: If you want to download something to muck around with for acouple of hours then delete then download it. I basic 2d space game.

  Cons: The game is something that you would expect 10 years ago. Infact, if you have a older computer & are able to get a copy of Imperium Galactica (1 or 2) I would recommend that (and that is about 14 years old). Ps, if anybody can program, they should have a shot at a newer version of I.G.

  Anyway, the full version of G.C. isn't worth the effort. A space version of Civilization this isn't.

  What's with the low scores?

  by: Jesse_Dylan on 27-May-2008 07:37:38 PM

  Pros: This game is universally acclaimed. I haven't had so much fun with a turn-based sci-fi space conquering game since Master of Orion. This game does right what all the greats of the past did, and more besides.

  Cons: I'd like it if I could buy a version that has the main game and both expansion packs. :) That's because I'm cheap, though, and it's what I'm waiting for. My score is for the main game, though, and the demo. (The add-ons, I have not played, but reviews say they're excellent.)
