IG2 was terrible. I played it for about 2 hours and then uninstalled it. Luckily, I borrowed a friend's copy instead of purchasing, my own copy (and no, I didn't burn the game or anything, I just borrowed the CD for about a day), so I didn't waste any money on it. The ground battles were flashy and pointless. Either you had over-whelming force and won easily, or your troops were too weak and you couldn't win. The fighters were too powerful. The AI purchased about 60-80 fighters in the first 15 minutes of the game, and no amount of ships I built could possibly defend against them. I think the AI cheated like the Civilization AI cheats, getting significantly reduced costs on everything. Overall, there was way too much micromanagement, especially for a real-time game. There was too much flash and no content.
