Gal Civ is NOT a 4 x game. It does not have the depth that SEIV or even SEIII had. GalCiv you limited to ship pre-designed ships, plants are not system based, they are just scattered about randomly, and the focus is more on bases than on colonizing. Its a good game, but boring after the first time you play it.

Now SEIV on the other hand has demonstrated that it has infinate replayability. After nearly five years it is still going well and is being re-released in stores with Septemenber.

Now don't get me wrong, GalCiv is a good game in whatever nitch genera it has carved out for itself. I have the game and thought it was a really nice looking game, with some awsome features, but simply put I found it boring as hell.
