What players say
I don't know how to explain the magic of this game, but it's incredibly addictive! I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves logistics and factory types games! The soundtrack is also beautiful!
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Great game, but the 1st is still better due to graphics. A 3rd game with the beat of re 1st and 2nd would bea top ship tycoon game. Campaign is fun in this one.
should be able to play with friends n seriously restricted in places to purchase n repair ships when it shouldnt be so restrictive!!!
