Another AU review site. Boy when Sins goes on sale retail it should look good downunder in OZ. Some highlights are:
Graphics:
Fantastically atmospheric when zoomed in close, clear and informative when pulled back.
8.0
Sound:
Lots of solid booms and thuds when you need them.
9.5
Gameplay:
Simply brilliant. Addictive, compulsive, engaging and a great illustration of everything that strategy gaming should be.
9.0
Lifespan:
You might as well nail it to your hard drive, because it's not going anywhere. Endlessly replayable with the promise of many official updates and user-created mods in the future.
9.0
Overall:
Bold, ambitious game design sometime pays off. Sins of a Solar Empire is a resounding success and the best sci-fi strategy game currently available.
