If you are looking for a Space game that does not put too many requirements on what you do during the game, then this is the game for you. If you want a space simulator where you have the freedom to fly around and do whatever you please, then I highly recommend Space Rangers 2. This is a difficult game to run under VISTA, especially the 64-bit version that I'm running. You need download a file called sfdrvup.zip with a single executable in it that has the same name. Extract the zip file somewhere, run the executable, let Vista do its thing. After a minute or two, the computer will prompt you to reboot. Everything should work from there. http://www.star-force.com/Support My biggest complaint about the game is lack of 1st person perspective. If you are battling on a planet, you get some 3D combat, but when it space, it is all two dimensional. The graphics are beautiful and you will need to take notes to keep track of what you've done and where you've been. Every game I've played was totally different then the previous. Plan for a long learning cuve.Read full review
This game never worked due to the on disc security and after downloading I received a virus and constant startup error for a mysterious bad driver. If you are reading this review, go to Steam and down load this game from them.

I do love Civ and RTS but i did not love this game. Space travel is clunky almost annoying at times. I will have to say i didnt play the first game so with no instructions on gameplay part 2 is hard to get into and understand. I am not sure i will like this title if i give it more of a chance since i did install play for a couple hours then uninstall.Game also has Starforce copy protection .All in all i was always curious about this title , not sure i gave it enough time but its not my cup of tea.
This is an excellent game. It is a space game that crosses into many categories (RTS, RPG, Text Adventure, Space Trading, Pirate... etc.) And the best part is if you don't like any part of the game you can just turn down those type of missions with no consequences at all. Excellent game all around.
