Editorial Reviews :
'Space is big. Really big.' So begins The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But like the void of space, there is a void in strategic space games. None have provided the bigness, that focus on the highest levels of grand strategy, that science-fiction epics in print, film, and television have long delivered. So, to the traditional 4-X strategy game of eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, we have added an important new fifth X, eXperience. Through game devices that add character, story, and plot to familiar strategy play mechanics, MOO3 delivers the grandeur and richness of an epic space opera--not in the guise of a traditional book, movie, or TV show, but in the medium of a game experience.
In MOO3, players assume the biggest role ever. No longer do players merely represent petty interplanetary dictators. In MOO3, players represent the controlling power behind an entire galactic civilization. The dictators, presidents, councils, and overlords that come and go are merely a player's pawns. One must use these governments and their leaders to secure the destiny of one's civilization and to manipulate its policies of freedom and oppression in both foreign and domestic arenas. It is not enough to be an able economist or a great captain to succeed in Master of Orion 3; considerable political, administrative, and espionage skills must be applied to craft your civilization's glorious chapter in the annals of time and space.
Although MOO3 is a turn-based game and players can do anything, they can't do everything. Only a limited amount of Imperial Focus is available to each player each turn, so players must manage the ultimate resource--their own direct involvement! As players build empires, retaining able administrators becomes more important, as does watching their loyalty and ambition. Growing an empire means growing a bureaucracy and citizens can resort to voting with their feet or their pitchforks if they're not properly led.
It's up to players to provide direction and focus to drive their civilization to its goals. Left to its own devices, a civilization will slouch forward, but when properly led by a player, their destiny will be forever written in the stars.
Buyer Reviews :
I'm generally not one to complain (or use text space for something that it isn't used for). But when a game that is highly anticipated has it's release date pushed back repeatedly, I tend to shift my paridigm. I WANT THIS GAME!! No problem with amazon, it's quicksilver's fault. I have been hearing about this game for I don't know how long, and it makes me somewhat angry. Now, I did give this game five stars, mainly because it makes you want to read this review when coupled with the title. So thanks, even if I am anonymous, I know that you are there.
Reguardless, If the game is out and you see this, skip down further to the next review; the above paragraph is just some BS.
