This review is from: Galactic Civilizations II (2) Dread Lords Collectors Edition (CD-ROM)

I have never played Gal. Civ. games before so after hearing sooo much about Dread Lords I thought I would try it. My reaction first off was the amount of depth this game covers. First off, you have a technology tree so big you have to scroll across the game screen to see it all. Then with all the ship cust. menus it can be a bit overwhelming sometimes not to mention the diplomacy options. I guess I was not inclined to how in-depth this game really was. It's not a bad thing for a experianced hard-core player but a little bit overwhelming for a newbee to say the least. Maybe it's just me? I have played a long line of space empire games such as ORB (Highly recommended) Hegimonia which is very similar to this game but much more user-friendly. Don't get me wrong, I find no fault in this type of genre but I was hoping for something a little less text based and a little more action oriented.
Oh well, I guess I'll play it and try to get the hang of things, catch up on my reading and learn to play the game more effectively. Who knows, I might fall in love? If not I'll just wait until Space Rangers (2) comes out in March.
