Customer Review: I'm not really under 13 just not a member :)
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this game, a lot. Kinda hard to get used too in the start but when you play a little you start 2 understand it.I like it because there are so many different ways 2 win.
It aint all about brute force you can also win by other means :) Enjoy!
Customer Review: Antares beats anticipation
Summary: 5 Stars
Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares is a entertaining piece of software. The interface is easy to learn and very user friendly. The game has multiple races and full customization for play. So you can play the same race and have it be different each time. The plot isn't very strong and the music is weak, but other than this I would rate the game as one of the best strategy games I've ever played and would recommend it and a hall of famer.Customer Review: 14 yearold antaran killer

This is one of the best turn based strategy games ever. You can choose from 13 already made races or make your own. This game is not for idiots it does not come with directions you got to figure it out on your own, if you need help it has on game help on the game (duh) to get you going. The hardest part is probably when your desighning your own race there are just so many choices. This game is not big on graphics or pictures but when your killing Antarans or Silicoids or whatever you wont care. The Antarans are the ancient enemy of the orions and will be coming out of nowhere and killing whatever they find every once in a while. (if you dont what to get attacked choose "lucky" as your race's special ability, it makes the Antarans "overlook" your colonys) If you need help on the game just right click on somthing and you will get a pop-up to help you. I sugest you dont get this game if you hevent played a game like civilization call to power, or any of the civilization games, if you liked them you will like this. And don't worry to much about the antarans you can select for them not to attack at the begining of the game. And also at the begining of the game select tactical combat if you want it to be any fun, without tactical combat when you fight the computer will just say who is the winner but with tactical combat you command every little thing your ships do. There is also this thing called a stellar converter it is not a ship it is a weapon you can put it on a ship or a planet. the stellar converter blows up planets! you can also use it on enemy ships too. But don't worry only small ships will get blown up in one shot bigger ships take quite a few shots with a stellar converter to destroy. But since it is turn based the enemy gets a shot back so don't expect to just keep shooting with the stellar converter. The game has difficulty settings Tutor, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible. So don't worry if your not that good, oh yeah if the enemy has a good ship that you would like just board it and take it over!This game is great don't be afraid to buy It!
Kill some Antarans for me!!!
Customer Review: One of the best turn-based strategy games ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this game since the first day it came out. I've run it on every windows OS and had little to no problems (post-patch). It's a very stable and well constructed game that someone put good solid programming into.As for gameplay, what else can I say... If you love, or even like, turn-based strategy games and wish to rule the universe, this game is a MUST HAVE! No game library should be without it!
FYI - Don't waste your time with MOO 3, they ruined it. They took a perfectly manageable gaming engine and turned it into a non-manageble nightmare.

This game is really fun . Even though I'm only 12, this game was easy enough to understand after a couple weeks of practice. The fighting is awesome, even though it can get kinda annoying if you find Orion at the very begining and the Guardian kills you in. Overall, this game is great!!!!!
