Imperium Galactica 2: Alliances for Windows

Pros: Complex in a good way, uses a lot of what makes the Civilization series great
Cons: Uninspired warfare system

If you've ever read my review of Mob Rule, you know I occasionally make impulse purchases, and at least in that circumstance, I was vastly disappointed. However, Imperium Galactica II stands perhaps my best impulse purchases; in fact, I'd rate it as one ...

Pros: Stunning in game and cinematic graphics. Amazing detail in all areas. Incredibly addictive and fun, Amazingly user friendly, Thorough and intuitive tutorial and instructions
Cons: Easy level is far too easy - Normal level is amazingly difficult.

For as long as I can remember there have been few games which have been able to grab and hold my attention as well as empire building/power struggle/war games. Civilization by the legendary Sid Meier was always a favourite as was...

Pros: Beautiful graphics and sound - excellent game play
Cons: Any level above Easy is extremely Hard!

Imperium Galactica II is a really fun real-time strategy game sort of following the tradition of Master of Orion series.

First of all, the graphics are absolutely gorgeous! The images are crisp and clear, and the animation is smooth.
...

Pros: Great sound and graphics
Cons: no real tactics in battle

After playing Imperium Galactica II for several hours, I came to one realization: the game's designers tried too hard. The game incorporates many different aspects, but fails to give the depth that an exciting game requires. It is as if the developers...

Pros: Lovely to look at with an exciting feel. Thorough tutorial and seemingly endless gaming possibilities.
Cons: No epic story line and no exciting new advances in strategy gaming.

By all appearances Imperium Galactica II (IG II) is the next big thing in strategy gaming; stunning graphics backed by an ambient musical score, open ended strategic possibilities combining a multitude of details from empire building, economics,...

Pros: I sacrificed 20% of my people to the God Emperor, very extensive mutliplayer fun, some of the coolest movies I have seen is a game
Cons: Some drawbacks hurt a great game

Here we see a game come together nicely an many levels to provide us with a fun, entertaining space-empire sim. The strategy is detailed because this game combinds Sim City, Rebellion, and Pax Imperia to form a strategy powerhouse. You can manage each...

Pros: Nice change, the makingz of a cult classic
Cons: Worse skin problemz than a zit faced prom date.

First off, I have a common belief about gamez, if you get so overwhelmed that you feal like smashing your head against the wall, your money waz well spent.On that note, after trying the hard level, my wall haz a few new holez in it.

This...

Pros: awesome graphics, combined with great gameplay from many different sides, can slow, stop, or speed up time
Cons: too complex, long learning curve

Quite contrare to my title of this opinion, this game is not confusing... it is simply complex. There are many different aspects and different sides to this game, and to be able to master it, you must master all the sides. This will be a challenging task...

Pros: looks nice, cool espionage, autobuild
Cons: very simplistic, each game is the same, tedious building, combat is short and untactical, annoying interface; research, espionage, diplomacy, and map are all meaningless

It's easy to get excited about Imperium Galactica II when you first start playing it. It looks beautiful and has some appealing features. Count on losing a few days of your life when you first install it.

Playing IG2 is a hollow experience,...

Pros: Hugh game with few or no rivals, True empire building, Challenging game play
Cons: Needs a TOP end system to run the right way

I have to admit I LOVE space empire games, Master of Orion 2, Stars!, Stars2!, Spaceward HO 4!, and Imperium Galactica. But compared to other games they are FEW and FAR between. Most developers decide that making a game where you control...

Pros: Best strategy game ever
Cons: Takes some time to learn

Wow. This game is one of the greatest strategy games that I have ever seen. O.k. you start out with a single planet and a small fleet with the intention of commanding every planet in the galaxy. I don't want to give the wrong impression though, it's...

Pros: Great detail and great game play
Cons: Does have a bug on my computer which crashes during a game.

Imperium Galactica 2 a very very good game. I saw it on the shelf at my computer game store, I was comparing it to other games at the time just by cover look. From the box's description I was drawn into the Spaceship battles u can totally control. It...

Pros: Almost everything.
Cons: Lost space battle = lost game.

Winning or losing this game always comes down to a ship battle. If you lose you are out of the game. If your opponent loses, he is gone. It is seemingly impossible to recover from having your fleet destroyed. This wouldnt bother me so much, but...

Pros: Utterly gorgeous graphics and cool combat with tons of options in three campaigns
Cons: Video Card bugs; steep learning curve; no multiplayer tactical combat

Open memo to any developer doing a 4X(Explore, Exploit, Expand, Exterminate) space conquest game: Look, I know we're talking about more intellectual genre then head-bursting shooters, okay? But darn it, the reason we wade through several dozen...

Pros: Great interface, graphics, and gameplay
Cons: none

I purchased this game by mistake, actually. I meant to by "Reach for the Stars", but got this instead. I was looking for something to fill the void until Master of Orion III comes out. What I got was a beautiful, slick, challenging game that...
