 Rating:  - cumbersome drmThe DRM on this game is overly cumbersome, preventing you from being able to personally play without extra hassle a game you paid good money for.... Rating: - CrashenatorThis game, even after the patches which came out right after its release, crashes at every opportunity. It is not a reliable game. It is not fun to play because when progress is achieved, it crashes (somehow it knows exactly when you plan to save and intervenes). Of course, it doesn't help that I can't play the game behind a firewall due to the connectivity required for DRM. The game has no additional value when connected to the internet, anyway. Rating: - Just stopped working; support useless.Tried on Mac OS X. It worked for a while, then just stopped: try to launch it and you get a zoom box, then nothing. I did discover it would still run if I logged in as root (no way do I intend to run a game as root!). I wrote to EA support, and they suggested I "upgrade" to a machine that fits their requirements.

Like, you might fly to a planet and not see the cities for another five minutes. Near the end of the game it gets very challenging. it is addicting and fun. Most people say the game is bad because the technology is supposed to be "amazing". It is. You just have to think about if your other computer game has one million different planets to explore. (This is true!)Also, do ...

There's one problem... after youve guided a couple of civilizations to the final space age... youre done. There's not anything new and different. Yes, you could create a new carnivorous, mean species if you always play diplomats, but that'd be really hard, as they way you play the game reflects how you live life. So, glad i bought it, was fun to play, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
