Ten millennia have passed since you and the few survivors of the once mighty Vasari Empire fled from an unknown threat that all but exterminated your kind. You now find yourself at the fringe of the galaxy in a sector occupied by a pathetically primitive species - one obsessed with trade and lacking any central organization or military technology. Calling themselves the Trader Emergency Coalition, they would have been ideal slaves in the glorious days of the past, but time is of the essence. Use your mastery of phase-space manipulation, gravity and nanotechnology to quickly eliminate any local resistance and acquire the necessary resources to fuel the next segment of your continuing exodus.Features:

Rating: - Massive Empires Anyone Can Manage!
One problem that commonly occurs with RTS games that feature huge environments and a plethora or units is the issue of micro-management.Take for example the Total War franchise.Not only do you have to manage many buildings in your cities, you also have to monitor and babysit your units like crazy.For some hard-core gamers, this is not a problem, but for more casual gamers, massive yet minimal management is fun.But I digress.My point is, Sins of a Solar Empire offers a variety of units available ...

- Another kick in the teeth from an industry that doesn't care about it's customers
I bought this game second hand, being genuinely interested in the game. First advice: do not do this. If the cd key is in use you cannot update the game past 1.3, leaving bugs in the game. I quizzed Stardock about this and the official response was this: I am not buying the game, I am purchasing a license. Licenses are only sold once, so to update the game I BOUGHT I have to pay more to get a new license. It's all spelled out in the EULA which I cannot read without buying the game. I did not appreciate this, ... Read More

Ok, it's snazzy looking.But, when you get right down to it, the game is nothing more than Masters of Orion on steroids.You win by creating an enormous fleet and moving it from planet to planet, while your opponent does the same.
But don't try to sell or give anyone your copy of the game when you're done. Stardock weds your game to one system for life, and flat out refuses to let someone else have your license.

- Excellent Game
A great game!Before this, the last computer games I had enjoyed were Civilization IV and Warcraft III.This game is sort of a space based combination of the two.There is no campaign to play (which Warcraft had, and I miss), but many maps of different size, and three races to play.So, it is not as complex as Civ IV (military conquest is the only way to win), but I have played many games without getting tired of it at all.
There is also a $10 expansion called Entrenchment which adds Starbases ... Read More
Rating: - UGHHHsome of these comments....
I have to post my first review of a game ever.Ive been playing PC games since 1994, 15 years or so as an adult.I have to post because I feel that some players of great games will be steered away from what is one of the best games I have ever played.
I bought this game based on the 9.0 review on Gamespot.Ive come to trust gamespot user reviews over the years , kind of like when you watch a movie and trust IMDB users overall scores. The public in my opinion is hands down better then any pro reviewer ... Read More
