Maelstrom

Although the graphics of a game are generally not important, Maelstrom's graphics are really good given the age of the game. From time to time, you are given the opportunity to watch sequences that relate events to you instead of simply reading about them. These sequences are well crafted and enhance the game, but are far superior to other graphics in the game, such as photos of individuals you meet. Many of the sequences seem to borrow from other science-fiction sources (see if you can spot the Star Wars shuttle from "Return of the Jedi"). The music in the opening sequence is a catchy tune, but unfortunately, there is very little music when you play the game. The sounds are limited to chimes that signify notification messages.

Leta upp Imperium eller Supremacy istället, fem år gamla spel som är både snyggare och bättre än Maelstorm.
