Awful Game - Don't Waste Your Money

1 Rating: 1, Useful: 4 / 15

Overly complex game. Start to finish there is nothing exciting included in this game. Whatever side you play starts with a great disadvantage and it just goes downhill from there. Not just a challenge, each order is monotonous and the game becomes disinteresting within an hour. Don't waste you time or money.

When I first got this game, I found it to be extremely difficult due to the complexity of it. Once you get the hang of the game, however, it is very addicting. You get to do everything from spying missions, recruiting, building armies, fighting, mining, exploring new planets and more. With all these different things that you need to do in order to win, it is a little difficult at first, but it is well worth going through all the difficulty once you really fully play this game. I would highly recomend it to anyone who loves a good strategy game and who loves star wars.

Rebelion's in the middle of the middle to top.

the game could have been so much more, I agree. A exucution and interrogation process for prisoners, a ground combat engine, better travel times(almost 100 days from one end of the galaxy to another?), etc. But the 3-D space combat rocks! Much like the upcoming Force Commander. Also, a lot of characters and ships to command. multiplayer is fully supported, and you can chose your difficuty, galaxy size, and play both sides. The empires forces do seem not much larger than the rebels. Also, the idea of force rulling is made impossible by the rebellions on the planets. You get several permanent characters, plus some radomly selected ones too. You can also recruit and send people on missions, like rescues and assasination attempts. Overall, a good game. Try it.

Not as bad as you think

I know this game has gotten bad reviews, but if you are a strategy (rather than action) game junky you'll still like this one. My favorite part is the detail you get about ship and unit capabilities. You can accelerate the game to get past the long waits and slow it when you need to make a move. Forget about the tactical interface, it sucks. Just simulate all your battles.

Rebellion weighed on the ballances and found lacking

Rebellion is a game that looks good until you play it. Building powerful fleets and expanding your empire is a lot of fun, but it is made difficult and annoying by the mantinence, the constant distracting micromanagment, and the fact that the tactcile battles are really miserable. One of the most extremely bothersome aspects of the game is the messaging system. You are constantly being harrased by notifications of litteraly everything that happens. You get a message that you are forced to deal with for everything you build and everything you do.There is no way to differentiate between the important occurances and the most obvious and mundane. You will get a message telling you that you just fought a battle as soon as you exit the battle! That is just one example of the multitude of blemishes in what could have been a great game. I would love to see it synthisized with Homeworld. I recomend you go buy Starcraft-this game was released too early and need a lot more work. Starcraft is a RTS game that's close to perfection.

This Game Flat out Rocks

I'm telling you all right now, if you're gonna get any Strategy game, this is the one. You here people raving about StarCraft and WarCraft. Great games, but no way better than Rebellion. It gets the voices right on par, the pictures perfect, no little glitches. The hook up and battle is an extra addition that makes this game the best.

Rebellion Rocks

At first I was told this game was very hard, and that it was a waste of my time. Now that I played it I love it! If you like stratgey games this is it. It belongs right up there with Starcraft, and Warcraft 3.

Good game to play alone, but not against others.

This is a very fun game, but when you play on the net agaisnt others it seems to mess up a lot with REB EXE errors. so if you wanna play others it takes longer because you have to keep saving and restarting, if that problem was fixed all would be great in it.

Rebellion is the game that sets out a new type of strategy and despite old-school graphics, it rocks so much that you'll say "To hell with graphics." Some people like graphics over gameplay. I on the other hand, think otherwise, and think that this game is all about it. From galactic conquest, to diplomatic stress, natural disasters, and many characters from the Star Wars Universe (plus even more I remember from books), this game takes the cake as one of the most addicting games, if not THE MOST addicting game that you'll ever find packed all into one CD. Take it from me, my friend gave me the go to purchase it, and I was very doubtful at first, but I'll tell ya: I wish that I had bought the game when it first hit the shelves.
