    Would not run on my box. Probably a hardware deficiency. When I tried to run it the screen went black, was unresponsive, and I rebooted. I then uninstalled it and threw away the cd.

    Sins of a Solar Empire

    Ok so I maybe the only guy in the bunch here that has something negative to say about this game. Why you ask? Well first off its just not as intuitive and well designed as I read and now experienced. How so you ask? Well the GUI – or graphic interface just looks like they got some inexperienced guy in windows paint to slap together the graphics. The placement of icons, groupings of icons and color scheming just doesn’t make sense. Now aside from the general game’s interface, the graphics(ships, worlds general in-game asethetics) definitely does not rank up there with titles coming out these days(World In Conflict or the old school game:Homeworld 2. SINS graphics look really dated(circa early 90’s) and uninspired. Lots of blocky polygons and so-so texturing. Kinda amazing since this thing went through so many betas and took soo long in development. Granted tho, it doesn’t have load issues, you can move pretty seamless around the enviroment and it has some nifty effects. Voice over work -bad – lets not mince words people. It sucks. No single player campaign but lots of ability to custom make your own scenarios and maps.

    Have yet to mess with the multiplayer – but seems cool you can save it out. I suppose I was expecting something on par with Homeworld 2 and as immersive. Should of waited for the demo… Suppose I could try and take it back or use it for a coaster on my table. My suggestion, wait for the demo.

    **To counter those who think I didn’t crank up the graphics – I did. Got a 8800GTX 768 and a dual core 3.0ghz with 4gigs of ram. Nuff Said – nothing changed. The graphics were bad a medium and didn’t change at highest.

    *** There is strategy in this game, just no story, no immersive binding element that makes me want to come back for more…I suppose I am old school. Give me a story and then I might hop online if it is worth my time.

    this is the worst game EVER all it amounts to is a click fest on tiny unresponsive icons. You Cant really play the game in the total close up mode . ie: you rarely get to see the nice close ups of the ships.

    The upgrade and tech trees stink and you cant build any thing , including the ships you need.

    The game is not nearly as good as Galactic Civilations II.

    I have spent about 12 hrs of last 24 trying to figure this loss out. al lyou do is respond to “pirate attacks”, over and over etc.

    DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! look for

    Galactic Civ II on sale! It has many of the same features and works much smoother and more logically!

    If your hoping for a story line give up now.

    There is no story! That’s the big 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 your forces get push back or you move forword bomb there plants or visa versa and then your done. DONE thats it pick the next one and then your off doing the same thing. You can make a random map but it’s just like the other options. There’s nothing to keep you playing.

    Sins of a solar empire is for dedicated RTS gamers and RTS gamers only.

    The game has no campaign mode, so don’t expect a good story, which would have made it so much better. The music goes from okay to okay, its mediocore. The game play is just ugly, I should’nt have to say anything you saw for yourself on the gameplay pics they show you. What killed it the most was the tutorial modes. you will spending a long time just to understand combat, space mining, and planet taxation which is MIND BOGOLLING BORING. Sins was not fun for me and should’nt be, it had the potential to be great; if not wonderful. Hopefully EA will buy this company and give it a much need face lift.
