Smugglers 4 is a turn-based science-fiction space-trading game. You have the option to be a greedy trader, an ambitious bounty hunter, a ruthless pirate, or a multitude of the many professions that the game has to offer
Cons
Not wnt to tell
Summary
When I first ran the game, it truly reminds me of the time when I first opened Smugglers 2 after downloading it. The Smugglers 4 is the new and great and very addictive game.

Pros
good graphics for a turn based game
Cons
your only allowed to play in one sector
Summary
I know this is a Demo but it would have been nice to be able to move to at least one other sector, also the turn limit I thought was low considering most of that was used up in any fights you got into.
decent trading game

Good, but has a downside.
Real_KuzkulaMay 8, 2007
Pros
Well, stuff you can do simply. There's always a mission to do, and althought it can get repetetive, you could always defect to another sector and do their missions and win the war for them. This doesn't just use simple stats to identify who'll win or lose, I know because I took down an enemy Fang with a simple StarWolf. Good times.
Cons
Well, it needs better in-game music, more sound effects, more character pictures, and a higher degree of types of missions. Also, maybe online play with like 10 people or so? Lack of any "wow"ing graphics is a killer, but not a necessity for it to be an awesome game.
Summary
Entertaining, and easy to play.
tmibJuly 22, 2006
Pros
Simplicity in play and small down load.
Cons
No actual battle scene or control.
Summary
A Very good game.

Pros
This game is a very nice game, From taking over planets. To Gaining ranks this game takes you for a ride to another galaxy. Not like alot of other games, In this one you have a number of ships to buy, Parts for your ships. From Gaining rank to gaining the love of a woman this game is Very interesting and has lead to alot of missing homework assignments. <p> <p>-- <p>7 out of 10
Cons
The Graphics need work maybe need to update it with animation. the best graphics in this game is the count down timer which is really sad but it is a great game all around.
Summary
