2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult interface and buggy, June 28, 2003

By	David Brambora (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sort of like RISK on steroids, EU tries to do many things in this zone conquest game. Unfortunately, the user interface is unintuitive and clunky. Given the number of things you need to worry about, this makes the game frustrating. It is not turn based, so as you try to figure out how to send those colonists, the computer is running at full throttle. I have also had many crashes and a patch has already been released to let you load a saved game. How can a game be released that can't even load a saved game. This is a quick and dirty port and it shows.

4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging, December 2, 2003

By	Stephen Sarrica - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very challenging game! Expects serious commitment from the player in terms of learning mechanics --after going throught the tutorial and playing three games, I am still unclear on some of the finer points. Great depth and detail... actual historical events affect gameplay. Definitely one of the neatest ways I've seen to make history come alive.

I have not experience the crashes another reviewer commented on... there is a downloadable update available from the publisher.
