The Stars are Under Your Control

byravinglunatic Mar 28, 2001
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Fun strategy game, good graphics, ability to research. Easy to learn.
Cons Games can be very long
Recommended it? Yes

I am not really much of a strategy game person, but this is the one strategy game that I really enjoy. This is a turn based strategy game set in space.

The customizability of the game is what makes it a lot of fun. You can custom build your own race from a list of traits, government, etc... Read full review »

MOO 2...something to do

byDalesanya Dec 16, 2000
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros changes every time
Cons graphics nonexistent
Recommended it? Yes

This is a game that has been around for a long time, but I still find myself wanting to play every now and again. It?s hard to say for sure, though, why it appeals to me.

First of all, the graphics are nothing to write home about. In fact, there basically are no graphics used. There are no... Read full review »

Still the best sci-fi 4X game around

bykschang Aug 3, 2000
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great randomness, lots of options
Cons Can be tedious toward the end
Recommended it? Yes

Master of Orion II is a sequel of the classic Master of Orion. It's old enough to require only a 486! Despite its age, it is still one of the best 4X games around (4X being exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination), with each game being a bit different. It is turn-based, but don't...

Still the Best...

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great replay value, neat tech tree, design your own ships
Cons Graphics and sound are a little dated, No 3D space battle
Recommended it? Yes

This game has been around a while and unfortunately has yet to be equaled. I have had this game since it first came out and have spent many hours playing it. I bought it because I enjoyed its predecessor, Master of Orion. The only real problem with Master of Orion II is that there hasn't been a... Read full review »

A classic

byLisaS Nov 14, 1999
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Hours of addictive space conquest
Cons Older game, outdated graphics
Recommended it? Yes

Master of Orion II is a classic. This game is far from new, the graphics and interface are
far from the cutting-edge eye candy that is seen in today's games, but who cares? If
you love to manage, micromanage and conquer the universe this game will hook you.

There are many options... Read full review »

Still fun even after 4 years! Love it!

bythx_b Jun 26, 2001
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros With patched version, very replayable with endless permutations.
Cons Ending is bittersweet and not very grandiose, needs a progress chart at end.
Recommended it? Yes

If there's one gem of strategy games you should have in your collection, this one is it. It beats Civilization in replayability because it takes a shorter time to play and your empire does not become as unwieldy because there is a limit to how many star systems there are in a galaxy size.

Loving it for years

bysirtayls Dec 27, 2000
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros gameplay, replayability, graphics, fun, value
Cons absolute turn based system
Recommended it? Yes

I got this game I don't know how long ago at college and I still love playing it. The interface becomes really easy, the races are all great to play, and the goal is different depending on how you want to try and win. Get sick of playing a powerhouse, play one that depends on science. Try to win by... Read full review »

An Amazing Game

bymagika Mar 10, 2000
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Too many to mention
Cons Still waiting for Masters of Orion III
Recommended it? Yes

Although it's getting to be a bit old, this game is still one of my favorites. In fact, it's the only game I'm still playing a year after I got it (except for Ultima Online, which isn't really the same game it was a year ago). The gameplay is excellent, the strategy is diverse and you can set up so... Read full review »

Pros Depth of play and longevity
Cons Could have benefitted from more tech levels
Recommended it? Yes

Masters of Orion was the game that first got me addicted to computer games, so when when i found a copy of MoO2 for sale, i snatched it up.

Was i disappointed, in a word NO!

This game takes the concept of MoO and improves on it 200%. If you have not played MoO or MoO2 before,... Read full review »
