Publisher's description of Sins of a Solar Empire demo
From Stardock:In the future, the survival of humanity stands on the edge of utter ruin as three powerful factions vie for control of the galaxy. Take command of one of three space-faring races as you work to establish your domination of the galaxy in Sins of a Solar Empire. Through a combination of diplomacy, economic skill, cultural influence, and sheer military might you will establish order over your corner of the galaxy.
This demo gives you four tutorials, two small maps with up to two AI players, one randomly generated medium map with up to 3 AI players, and 90 minutes of playing time (single-player only) per game.

Version: Sins of a Solar Empire demo
"Like the Homeworld series, only better"
Pros: It was originally going to be called Imperium Galactica 3, but that would have been a major mistake. SSE is unrecognisable from the IG series. Gameplay is more like the Homeworld series, only better. Very - very basic development system (although it's possible to make major mistakes), this is essentially a space combat game. Easy to start playing. And if you're starting to win halfway through the game, you can increase the difficulty level. I almost forgot that playgame is very balanced.
Cons: Play this on the net??? I don't think so. I could think of few things worse then playing this game online. It's a long-winded game at the best of times (at least on single player you can save), on the net it would be last person awake (or alive) wins. And I doubt that you'll ever actually finish a game. Even after it's clear that you're going to win, it takes too long to mop up the enemy. It's poor endgameplay does detract. Did I mention that it was a long tiring game to play that gets boring?
Nice to play, but a new proper IG could have been much better. 3.5 stars here.

Version: Sins of a Solar Empire demo
Pros: Vast expanse of space for the battlefield, makes the average RTS map look like cheese. Runs amazingly well on low end systems even when the graphics are at a respectable level. Smooth gameplay, pleasant music and nice effects.

Summary: I came across Sins in Gamestation whilst inquiring about Xbox 360 repairs. That prompted me to get the demo and I have to say Sins is very surprising. To run game fine you generally need a good PC with more than one core (in my opinion) and a good s... read more >>
