I would give this game 5 stars except there is an annoying bug where when you try to move some of your units by dragging the mouse to the destination, and in the middle of this the status display changes, then the unit won't move and you have to start over. Since the status display is always changing this happens quite a bit.

I can't really add much to the reviews that have already been posted but if you like sci-fi and civilization type games or want to try something different you could hardly go wrong with this game.

The game isn't for those who want to finish something in one sitting. But when you finally finish a game it is very satisfying, even moreso if you have decided to transcend.

At times the AI can be particularly challenging, while at other times it can be ridiculously easy to conquer. This is particularly true when you can get a base close to their territory and launch air attacks.

The diplomacy the game offers is pretty well rounded, but not totally satisfying.

I haven't had the chance of playing with other people but that is also an option.

One of the best games ever

Although SMAC isn't for those with short attention spans, it is a spectacular game. There are 7 different factions, so well balanced that any of them can win by exploiting their respective advantages. Furthermore, you need not win through conquest. There are 5 different ways to win.

This game is a truly brilliant turn based strategy game. Every fan of strategy games should own this.

This is just a great game. I don't know what else to say. For it's quality (...), I'm suprised it isn't one of the most popular PC games ever.
