sure...it is real time, but that is one its assets. Yes, it has a few bugs, the update didnt fix...but ive learned to work around them. They are getting REAL close to the kind of games people only dreamed about in the past. Just be sure to actually quit the game and restart it AFTER a save....this will stop MOST ALL the crashes...even with the slower 1 gig computers. But, if your interested in multiplayer servers and such...forget this one...they really havent got the mp mode straightend out yet. This is a Game for the stategist....It is NOT..for the arcade minded individual.

It has potential, but that's all

This could have been a good game, but there are lots of games like that. Don't waste your money, it won't work, unless you have a cray II supercomputer in your basement. It crases constantly, even if you hit Configure to try to change the specs it crashes, I gave it 2 stars for what works and for the idea. maybe the next one will work, but I wouldn't put money on it. If you have the best computer on the market and the patients and determination of a saint(not to mention a thourough knowledge of programing) go ahead and get the game, but you've been warned.

Needs a repair job

I bought this game about 5 months ago and am a little disapointed with it. It does have nice graphics but it still crashes a lot like the origional BC3000AD. I downloaded one update which upgraded it to 1.7 or 1.07 and it fixed some problems but still crashes. The playability is very slow (an hour in the game actualy takes an hour.) It is supposed to represent real life but I don't know many people who want to spend an acutal months worth of time wasting in front of a computer on one game and with the likelyness of it crashing highly probable so you probably wont even make it that far. There are updates coming out so if you do own it check out the web site to get them and maybe it will improve the performance. It would be nice to have a time acceleration option with an automatic recognition of danger to slow time so the game wouldn't take so long in one player mode. It also needs more video cinematic features since you hardly see any video or automatic displays. However you can look aroud your self if you wish. I like the concept and they are getting closer to the real thing since BC3000AD, but by my opinion they still have a lot of work ahead of them and not enough expirence.
