well game and 2 expansion packs, but you hardly notice the Xpacs anyways.

One of the few games that come so close to the ultimate empire game, then falls flat on it's face since every game will always be the same (expand, forget development of empire,strategy or tactics (T stands for time) just throw things till you get next logistics node).

Still it is fun, and once you learn that technology is pointless, ships are worthless...errr right there you just flushed 90% of a game down the crapper.

It can be enjoyable

for me it has almost everything a RTS can have, shame it is so and completely focused on zergling for resources...if you go in with a lead boot<only recomended strategy,>. you will be fighting in all the star systems to conqueror (it not matter if you win them, tis a zerg fest in the end).


It really is not as bad as it sounds, and then much better! but even worse, LOL i suspect it was built to satisfy the zerglings, and even with that it is a damned good game, but it could have been so much better

on a fun scale it definately rates a 8.4

if you actually play a bit, that rating drops down to a 7.1 but still fun (if you enjoy taking the strategy out of RTS)
