Galactic Civilizations II (Jewel Case)

Wow! Sid Meyer's Civilization series meets the space genre. Perfect. Smooth gameplay. Excellent graphics. Killer soundtrack. The ship designer will leave you breathless. You can't wait to get a new design built and out into the combat zone.The learning curve is a tad challenging, but it gets easier the more you play. During my first game, the AI whalloped me something fierce. My civ began losing ground in diplomacy, tech and military. I thought I was doing well - the AI proved me wrong. Before I knew it, 2 allied factions declared war on me and I began to lose ground pretty fast. The Combat Viewer is a great way to watch your fleet get its hind-end whooped. But it also helps you to prepare for the future. My 2nd game is turning out much better. The AI is a tad nicer toward me this time. :)Overall - the gameplay is fantastic. Stardock didn't skip a beat. The replay value of this sim is priceless. If you are into turn-based strategy civ games with a space-based storyline, GalCiv 2 delivers unlike any other. Looks like I have GalCiv 3 in the crosshairs next. :)

but the game was fine...only problem was that I tossed the part with the serial number for use on line

Arrived on time and boyfriend enjoys playing it on his laptop.

fun game

This is a good game. I have Windows Vista on my computer and it works just fine. It is worth the price I paid for it. It is in almost new condition. I give highest ratings to the seller.

Like Lance's review I received the wrong version game - GC Ultimate (which is version 1) and not the advertised version 2 Dread Lords. GC Ultimate is so old (2003) I consider that game useless. I reordered version 2 from another seller and threw Ultimate away.

far too complicated

Caution: I ordered Galactic Civilizations II:Dread Lords. Instead I got Galactic Civilizations Ultimate Edition. Which sells for 1.95 less than what I paid.
