A RTS with god mechanics like the Sims. It blends the genre into something really fluid. The difficulty and replayability is there because while you might learn the game it will never be repetitive.
The characters feel like my friends, after spending hours together I will still laugh at some of their lines.



I got this game as a long time firefly fan, having never played the game before (published 2003). Even today with amazing computers, this game is pretty addicting. Like other firefly games it comes with a creation kit to make, share and play your own maps and assets. I spent about 10 hours figuring out how to play and all the nuances of the game. The sandbox for me is the most fun but some of the maps are really difficult. In every strategy (on some of the hardest difficulty worlds) I would fail. *queue creation kit* Now I have 5 more maps, which I created at just the perfect difficulty.


Biggest cons

Limited items, orientations (can't rotate items) and general customizing options available to build your base. There are probably only 120 items in the entire game that create your world. That gets kindof old.


All in all it's a good classic game with at least 20 hours of fun in it. :weed:
