Problem with game freezing with some graphics card
I was able to play the game for a few rounds when it froze. There's a problem with the Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS equipped computers with Vista. There are on-line forums that outlines which graphics cards don't work with the game. Supposedly, there's a bug in the driver and they haven't fixed it so there's no way for me to play the game unless I buy a different graphics card equipped laptop or get a little smarter in finding a program to update the driver. Which I am a little hesitant because I don't want to download something that can destroy my computer. Unless you have a different graphics card. Don't buy the game. It's actually a great game but because of the horrible support for the driver for laymen like me, I would rather not have purchased the game.... All it does for me now is taunt me whenever I see the game box sitting on my shelf.

4x doesn't get much better
There is a lot to like about this turn based space strategy game. It is clearly the successor to the type of gameplay popularized by the first two Master of Orion titles back in the 90's.
The graphics are a nice update and there are limitless opportunities to customize the look and feel of the game along with custom starship, race and opponent construction.
You will find yourself saying "just a few more minutes" at 2AM and wondering how the heck the sun came up so fast, so be forewarned!
If you liked Master of Orion 2 and Civ3 but weren't so impressed with their successors (like me) I think you will like this game the most.

Vista Users, Beware!!
Although the game is advertised as being compatible with Windows Vista, the game constantly hangs/crashes on my system. Furthermore, there are numerous sound issues in the game with Vista. Technical support has yet to respond to me. Seems like a good game on XP systems, but avoid like the plague if you have Vista!

Addictive
This game is highly addictive, beware! There are many ways to play (strategies to use), tons of map setup options, the ship customization is simple yet very flexible, and the graphics and menus are streamlined and pretty. Initial learning curve may be moderate for some but with even a short websearch you will find an easy read to help you grasp the few not-so-obvious points in the game. After playing a couple times the play will come naturally and you will have a hard time tearing yourself away from the game. Additionally, the product support, update system, and overall care the developers have put and continue to place in this game is top-notch in the industry. Enjoy!
