This game is definitely not the best-looking game around, but the guys managed to make a COOL game with TONS of options without making it too hard to understand! From what I've seen in the demo, there's no micromanagement stuff like pop morale and that kinda stuff, only a few buildings and resources to care about and the rest is just pure strategy, diplomacy, intelligence (they call them Special Ops and there are DOZENS of them) and technology. Can't wait to play with over 30 people in the same game! I'd rate it 4 out of 5, mainly because of the graphics and sound effects, but the music and intro movie are pretty decent.
