Default OT: Want opinions on Imperium Galactica II: Alliances

Just what the topic says. Any opinions pro/con on IG II: Alliances would be appreciated. My son is interested in buying, and I trust this forum more than reviewers. I don't know if this matters, but our computer is an Athlon 600 running Win98. Thanks in advance.

It's a real-time strategy game..there should be a demo available, I know I played a demo. The spy system was interesting, but I didn't much care for the rest of the game.

Had a lot of fun playing IG II, though the one alien race kinda reminded me of the Vorlons from B5. The real time aspect was a bit of a pain, though I think you could pause and give orders (or maybe that was the first one). It wasn't all that complex, but it was a fun play.

I did'nt like it at all. I found it difficult to control, and the real-time system is really bad. For me was a disappointment. But it depends fo the age of the player (The graphics are very good).
