OT: Galatcic Civilizations (GalCiv)
In short I like the game thus far. After buying that dismal POS Masters Of Orion 3, and being bilked for it, I am pleased to finally have a game that offers a good sense of game play combined with a good AI. Galciv is not what one would expect right from the box, and that is good. The User Interface is good, intuitive, and easy to learn. I had no problem learning the game and getting right into it. As far as complexity goes, well Galciv is not Space Empires IV, but it does have some really good points. I like the diplomacy thus far in Galciv far better than that of SEIV. However, SEIV is a better-looking game in many regards, but the eye candy movies offered in Galciv are a wonderful bonus. In all, I would rate Galciv just under what I rated SEIV. That is good given the fact that I bombed Masters Of Orion 3 hard core. I hope that Stardock continues to support Galciv as well as Malfador and Shrapnel Games have supported Space Empires IV. With that said, go out and buy this game, and have some fun. (7 out of 10)
