Since its release SOTS has added 2 expansions featuring 2 new races - bringing the playable total to 6. Remarkably each race manages to have a unique play style as well as unique ship designs and a few special technologies. from Amazon.com This review is for sword of the stars and the two expansion packs that came after. Now available in one package for 29.99 lots of places, apparantly not Amazon though- frown face. from Amazon.com Sword of the Stars is a great game, it can take a while to get into it but well worth it. If you buy sots I highly recommend you get born of blood also or the CE edition if you can find it. from Amazon.com After playing for quite a while I have found that this game is very entertaining and is hugely replayable. While the 3D star map does take some getting used to, the simple tech tree and simplified system development controls free the player to think about strategy, instead of micromanaging every single colony. from Amazon.com Here is what it comes down to in simple terms: If you like a game that gets in to specifics, quantities even going out two or three decimals, fine details in building a civilization - you will not like this game. If you don't enjoy working with 3D interfaces - you will not like this game. And, I don't care what the box says in specs, if you don't have 2 GB RAM, L2 Cache, and 256 video card - your computer will not like this game. The folks who do like it enjoy the colorful and intense battle scenes. from Amazon.com Bad programming execution. Game requires a patches to play, but I could never get it to work on my desktop. (Could never see graphics of ships.) It's not a good sign when there are three patches released within a year of release. After installing on my laptop and patching to the latest version. from Amazon.com Sword of the Stars" computer game is completely unplayable out-of-the-box. With a good internet connection and plenty of computer savy, a patch can be installed that makes the game playable -- okay / 3-stars but not great. from Amazon.com Ok,I am reviewing the game from patch 1.1 or so, and perhaps giving it too many stars to even out older reviews. However, I personally feel that what we've got here is actually better than MOO2. from Amazon.com Sword is a turn-based 2D fleet combat game. Unlike most 4X titles, Sword's economics require very little micro-managing, and the tech tree, while extensive, is simple. from Amazon.com For anyone interested in the "4X" genre of space conquest games, this title is an excellent choice. The AI is decent, the size of the universe is customizable from 16 to 350 stars, and there is a random tech tree that changes from game to game. from Amazon.com
