If you like the idea of battling with a game for weeks to conquer a few planets, only to find that you have barely scratched the surface of your objectives, then go knock yourself out – you could be playing this until you retire. However, if you like your gameplay focused and epic without actually being never-ending, then you may be better served by the multitude of other space strategy sims that have been released lately."
