Det ser kanske inte så fantastiskt ut (bortsett från de vanliga, förrenderade bitarna och FMV-uppdateringarna), men som vi alla vet är det insidan som räknas, och Imperium Galactica är fyllt till bredden.

Dabei bietet das Spiel eigentlich nichts neues. Eine Prise SimCity, Missionen Marke "Hat man schon gesehen", eine Hintergrundgeschichte à la "Verräter in den eigenen Reihen" und Raumkämpfe, die Masters of Orion 2 nicht das Wasser reichen können. Trotzdem ist die Mischung gelungen und erreicht das Klassenziel - Imperium Galactica macht einfach Spaß.

Als je Imperium Galactica vanop een afstand bekijkt, bevat het alle facetten om een topper te worden. Helaas heeft men het lumineuze idee gehad er een verhaaltje bij te verzinnen. Dit had men beter gelaten. In de beginfase van het spel valt er er weinig te beleven en kan je best al de taken zo snel en zo goed mogelijk afwerken om promotie te krijgen.

Imperium Galactica tries to take the best of several genres and combine them into one mix. It's terrifically ambitious, but tries so hard to please that it ends up tripping over itself and leaving out many of the basic considerations that make the difference between average and excellent. It rates a 68 for a solid storyline, good-to-excellent graphics, several innovations in gameplay and game progression, and a challenging strategy/economics/exploration combination. Despite all that, I can't in good conscience rate it any higher, given the glaring omissions of forethought in the pacing of the game and the sudden win/lose branchings that negate the very concept of a strategy game. In a 3D shooter, you might expect to die a quick death if you make one mistake, but you will not likely have invested 3 or 4 hours just looking for a single deadly adversary.

Das fängt ja gut an: Bis zur Rangstufe Commander spielt sich Imperium Galactica recht kurzweilig und schürt die Motivation durch Story und Beförderungen. Nach dem Einlegen von CD-ROM 2 wird daraus aber ein ziemlich zäher Brei aus Master of Orion 2, M.A.X. und C&C, notdürftig zusammengehalten durch viele "Und was jetzt?"-Phasen.
