Editorial Review: Product Description: In the future, the survival of humanity stands on the edge of utter ruin as three powerful factions vie for control of the galaxy. Take command of one of three space-faring races as you work to establish your domination of the galaxy in Sins of a Solar Empire, fighting for the survival of your entire race against relentless foes. Your success will depend entirely on your ability to manage your empire and command your vast fleets of starships to victory. Through a combination of diplomacy, economic skill, cultural influence, and sheer military might you will establish order over your corner of the galaxy! ESRB Rated T for Teen Amazon.com: 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:  - Stardock Changed the RulesI have supported Stardock for years now. I purchased Galactic Civilizations (2 copies), Altarian Prophecy, Galactic Civilizations 2 and Sins of the Solar Empire. However that all ends now, since Stardock has changed course in midstream. They will no longer put out stand alone patches for the game, but now they are forcing the user to download and install Impulse to get any future content. This method of DRM is not as bad as Spore's or MassEffect, but it still ends in ... Read More Rating: - Bombing planets? Where do I sign up? By doing a real-time strategy game mixed with elements from turn-based games (or 4x as they call it; Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate), Sins was doing something daring. They succeeded, to an extent. First, it should be noted that although this game will work on most computers, it is capable of bringing the most powerful machines to their knees. Sins allows players to build a map with no limits. That said, if you play on a map your computer can handle, they graphics are simply ... Read More Rating:  - Superb! But some bad points.When I played my first battle, I easily grasped it due to the tutorial. But, I found 0 campaign missions. This really upsets me because I thought you can actually grow with the game as you go on. Also one misleading part is the box said you can customize your own captial ship by inserting various skills. I found out that no matter how you add your skills, you will end up with the same ones at lvl 10. It didn't really matter how I build it. Rating: - What this game has.If your hoping for a story line give up now. There is no story! That's the pig point, some of these reviews say a Si-fi noval. If you loved homeworld or hegamonia, or Nexus You will hate this game. When you start a new game it asks you to choose a configuration for the galixy (how many suns and there colors, planets are random) Then you hit start and it generates the map and you start with a planet and you start to build you move into other suns and mattering on the diffcualty you get attacked ... Read More Rating: - Mediocre at bestI bought this game based on all the ecstatic reviews, comparisons to master of orion, etc, etc. The game is boring. It has a neat premise. It's the kind of game I want to play and want to like. One of the things I do like is that your ship crews gain experience. It's basically a lot like MOO2, only the combat is boring. That's really what kills the game for me. The whole "buy off the pirates at the last second so they'll go kill the other opponents" is just retarded. The tech trees are pretty ... Read More |
