Video Game Reviews of Master of Orion 2: Battle At Antares (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: One of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best games ever made in my opinion.Customer Review: A bit of a disappointment.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a huge fan of the Master of Orion games, and I've spent far too many hours in front of my computer playing this game and its predecessor. MoO1 may have been inferior graphically, and there WERE some major improvements in this sequel, but overall, it was a bit of a letdown.This was, for the most part, the fault of the micromanagement. The AI, of course, was idiotic about what it chose to build, and that meant that, if I was expanding quickly, I'd have several planets that I'd have to go to every turn or so to build a nice queue for.
A large part of the fun of the first game was the fact that I didn't have to worry about those minutae. I just decided how much of a planet's income was to be spent on productivity, then went on worrying about the larger-scale problems; trade agreements, expansion, wars, etc.
A few friends and I spent a lot of time playing this as a multiplayer "hotseat" game, and near the end, when everyone had a lot of planets to worry about, turns took forever.
I'm anxiously awaiting MoO3, though I fear that the removal of the IFPs will mean that later turns will turn into micromanagement nightmares like in Battle At Antares.
Customer Review: well...

I have been looking for this game for a long time. My son loves it. It was stolen a long time ago and I finally found it. Thank you he will be very happy.Customer Review: I have the version for Mac and I love it!
Summary: 4 Stars
Finding computer games for a Mac can be difficult, frankly I don't understand why because Macs are not uncommon. Master of Orion II combines neat graphics, the races are quite different, with strategy. I like the fact that I can advance and "win" either by killing everyone else or by politicing. I only wish the "create your own race" section allowed you to create an image as well for your race since you have only the standard models to chose from.
