Star Craft was a great game, but AOE was far more involving for longer periods. GalCiv is a great game, but has no replay appeal whereas Space Empires has tons.

Go figure.

Imho bad comparison, Star Craf is popular up to this day, and I'd think even more so than AOE.

Anyways, imho SE4 is better than any 4X game on the market atm, except maybe for stars! which is in it's own way better or worse than SE4. depending on what you look at.

Moo3 is better than GalCiv IMHO

And after the last patch, the game was pretty decent, but it was still annoying and boring at times (GalCiv is just plain boring and silly)

Infact, if I ever find my moo3 cd, I might just play it again... just for the purpose of wasting a few hours

Even after that patch I still found the game to be more like an pre-alpha rather than an actual finsihed product. To bad, after waiting all those years, seeing all that money shelled out, reading about all those programers putting in so many hours on the game, and in the end, a game made by one man over the course of a year and a half completely and utterly obliterated them. Go SE IV go.

Sorry to derail the topic (slightly) but:

Would it be worth it to buy MOO II?? Cost would be about $10 US.

Ive never played it, but Ive heared that Moo2 was a good game

Well, most people say it was definatly better than Moo3 at least

Yes. MOO2 was superior to SE4 in some ways...

Examples? I played MoO1 and MoO3, but never MoO2.

I don't remember much, but I liked it.

MoO2 was fun, but the AI might actually be worse than SEIV's. I have several times won a game on "Impossible" difficulty without ever colonizing anything, not even in my home system. I have also read accounts of a "No-tech" win, though I haven't tried it myself.

But BOTF was superior to Moo2 yet not so superior to SEIV. I would compare SEIV to Stars - but even then its a loose comparison.

Games like Imperium Galatic II and Reach For The Stars were hyped as awsome 4x games, but both fell horribly short of the mark. I never really played Stars, could not get into it. But the demo for SE IV sold me within 20 turns. That being said, I have played Moo 2 and disliked it. I found it to be kind of depressing to play, lacking really, dated, and not all that it was hyped up to be. Hell BOTF blew it away and for game play, but was plagued by micro-managment issues.
