OT: Want opinions on Imperium Galactica II: Alliances

[Jourin]

I found the game very boring once you break the code.

PROS:
1. Excellent graphics. The planets, the stars, everthing.
2. Ship battles fun to watch because of excellent graphics and special effects.
3. Good sound effects.
4. Plot is fun the first couple of times you play.
5. Decent ground battles.
6. Excellent graphics. - it deserves two votes

Cons:
1. Very little depth.
2. Ship design is pathetic
3. Research is very weak.
4. Plots repeat, so low replayability.
5. A lot of micromanagment of build priorities of planets necessary at harder difficulty levels. Just download the build order from the web site and then just build at the correct population levels and you maximize population growth. Tedious but easy, just follow the code.
6. Very little depth - this also deserves two votes.
7. No customability.

This game is the opposite of SEIV. Excellent graphics but very little depth. It is all show and very little substance. It is like candy that is initially very good, but makes you sick if you eat too much. It is fun for the first couple of games and then it is just boring.

If SEIV is a A, this game is a an aveage of C+. Starts as an A+ but quickly drops to a D - average C+

What would be really cool if you could integrate the grahics of IGII with the depth of SEIV, but I would rather have the depth of SEIV then great graphics. SIEV is much better.
