Game informer Magazine says It's a pretty basic 4-x game, but it does it very well. I know It's been on my list for awhile.

Lately, I've been in the mood for games like this. ie. Galactic Civ., Rpace Rangers 2, Farkstar one, etc.

the demo's been out a little while and supports singleplayer and multiplayer play, Its got some interesting features, but it takes a while to play through a game, even in the limited demo galaxies. Then again most of you guys dont mind 3 hours for a 'quick' SFB cruiser battle.
