  1. 100
    A nearly flawless expansion to an already great game.
  2. 100
    Dark Avatar does much more than just add new units or new maps, it revisits the very underpinnings the game itself and adjusts them to make the whole experience richer.
  3. 100
    It makes a great game that much greater, and unquestionably deserves a long-term, dedicated spot on any fan of this genre's hard drive.

    All frustration aside, due to the difficult AI, this is a great game. If you have the patience to actually build yourself a space ‘empire’, the gameplay is great. The only thing I dislike about this game is the diplomacy. It’s an excellent start, however it would be nice if you could have more options for dealing with potential enemies, especially threatening them, without going to war… However, I'm not taking points away from them for that!

    This is a must-buy for any civilizations fan. If you dont think there was action enough in sid meyers games, this might be something for you too. In this expansion everything has been improved, This is like way more than just an expansion but not really a sequel. There is nothing to complain about the graphics they are quite good (they got improved alot), and most of all, its got the best AI i have ever seen. one bad thing could be the diplomacy, its not very deep and from time to time a bit confusing, but it still cualifies for a 10. The only reason more people dont buy it is becourse they are afraid to try something they havent heard about. Expand

    Why does everyone like this game? It is so completely boring. The interface stinks. The art stinks. The creators forgot that Space Is Not Flat. It's cool that you can customize your ships, but the feature is merely annoying because by the time you build them, they're obsolete! The research system is just a handful of linear tracks with techs numbered 1,2,3,4. If you want to play the good version of this game, play Civilization 4. Homeworld was better if you like realtime. I have no idea why GalCiv continues to get good critic reviews, I almost always agree with the critics. Expand
