This game is great, original even, thought inspiring. Whoever made thios had a lot of time on teir hands. However, It's not realistic enough to be real.

Proof that Sid Meier is a mortal

I've played and liked (and usually loved) every Sid Meier game.
This one is not on the same page as CIV, etc.

poor graphics
poor balance
absolutely horrid game play
This is one annoying stinker.
This is one of the rare games that makes me wish that I could return software.

Well im not exactly sure why it takes these other people so long to beat this game. It has alott to do with your character, and the way you set your objectives. I often fight from the begening from start to end large map by myself on normal i can beat this game in under 4 hours with the remaning forces on the earth uniting behind me.

One of the worst games yet!

I wish there was a -1 to rate it. This game is the worst game I have ever played in my life! You may think it's not all that bad, but once you actually get into this game, and have lots of units to control, it becomes very boring, and time consuming. You have to watch Every Single unit on the entire screen move its little squares. I have got to give them credit for making the game, but they needed to spend just a little more time on it! To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have even wanted this game if I got it for free based on my experiance.

Its ok

This game is complex its not even fun to find out all the options. What is anoying is that when u in middle of the game u have so many units and u have to give a command to every single one of them, yes u can automize them but that will do no good to ur military units. Some times if ur lucky the gamefun will be 3 stars but most of the levels i played turnd out to be boring either i lost fast or it was 2 easy. Also sometimes when the game is over anyways and one of the leaders has clearly won, the game still goes on for an hour. Dont forget the game is more then 3 years old get something better for ur money for example:"Warlords Battlecry" or "Cossaks European Wars". I dont recommend this game though its not catastrophic either!

Too Bad!

This game looked really good for the price, but IT DIDNT WORK! I changed my PC but still having problems with TERRAN or whatever that is. Maybe I'll try it again

Civ in Space (follow the ship you launched in Civ 1)

Great game, if you like Civilization. It basically picks up with the colony ship you launched in Civilization, as it arrives at Alpha Centauri.

The best part about the game is the movies that play whenever you build a Wonder of the World. They're entertaining and even a bit educational.

OK BUT I'VE PLAYED BETTER

This game I won in a contest. It is alright, although the instruction book is huge. It is alright for this price though. A game much better but a bit like this is Age of the Empires 2. It's great. The game takes up about 50 MB small installation. It does take a while to complete a game though. Unlike games where after an hour you're done. I say it's Alright.

this game rocks

This is by far the most addictive and fun game that I have ever played, and now I can't wait for civilization 3.

I'm addicted.

Yes, I freely admit it, I am addicted to Alpha Centauri. Even when my life is busy, I still put in a few rounds of a game. It isn't just the game engine, the great graphics, the easy interface. It is the expression of a possible future that draws you in. Incredibly well thought out scenario(s). I love the game play. With Civ III out I am hoping there will be an Alpha Centauri II.
