This game was fun for the first few hours, but the lack of variety makes it boring. It's also too much management.. you have to keep the station running while socializing the characters. You also have to play the same characters over and over and can't create your own characters. There isn't much variety with what you can put in the space station either.. overall, I regret buying this game.. to me at least, it was a waste of money.

This game is great if you like being bored. I paid ten dollars for it and feel ripped off.

This game gets annoying fast.

This game gets annoying fast.

It has so much potential. Problem is, it's way too much micro managing. Not only are you trying to keep
all your resources coming in, you are trying to get all of you crew to like each other. I lasted a week on this game. I thought
the building of the space port was cool. Personally i thought this was going to be like Sim City. It' not. It's very
annoying. The sound effects alone get on your nerves real quick.
I had a big port, and lots of nice equipment and hotel. This gave me so much money I could train all my people
to be super efficient, and create lots of fast robots to work. I STILL didn't have enough time to get my people to like one another.
Rent this game. If you last more then a few days, buy it. If you DO buy it, save the receipt.

Challenging simulations...

I love this game!!! I can't tell you how many hours I've played it.

I agree with another reviewer that called the game - Sims with goals! There are some games that I play because I like to follow an adventure or story. Some games challenge my creative problem-solving skills. This game offers both a story and a challenge.

Space Colony vs. The Sims

Space Colony is a bit more amusing than the Sims (I haven't tried Sims 2 yet), with characters having specific personalities and sayings that make me giggle!

I can see how some gamers who love the Sims would find the game too challenging. Some situations take a few repetitions to get a feel for the landscape and "natives," but that only challenges me to try several strategies until I complete the sim.

Minor Complaint

One complaint with the (Mac) game is that the Pazuzu section crashes, but as I've completed almost all of the other sections of the game, it's a fraction of a huge game that offers many, many fun hours of game play!

Future games

I hope that the developers continue to offer updates and patches, or create similar goal-oriented simulation games!

SPACE COLONY SUCKS

Anyone who would want to play this game is stupid. All it does is swear. THE SIMS IS SO MUCH BETTER!

Space Colony Rocks!

Space Colony has something for everyone! It is challenging, funny, demanding, cute, frustrating, attractive, dangerous, and diverse. If you don't believe me, download the free demo and give it try! The full game is even better.

I'm having a blast with this game!

The Demo Rocks

While the demo is shorter than I would have liked, which is why I've just ordered the whole game, it was fun. Think The Sims with purpose. The different missions and goals give you something to work with. And the characters come with some specific talents, rather than you trying to guess what they would do well in as a career. I am really looking forward to the game arriving, though it won't do so fast enough.
