Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares

Greatest game of all

I think that who ever made this got a humoungus (I spelled that wrong), pay check because this game became such a big hit amongst strategy players. It is everything that a gamer wants. Although the sound and graphics are... Read Full Review

Why don't they make games like this anymore?

They just don't make games like this anymore, it seems. Space exploration resource management empire building games are just far too rare. I wouldn't call myself fanatical about them, but they're fun. They're different a... Read Full Review

better than the first in every way, very much worth the play.

When the first Master Of Orion came out, I was glued to the computer captivated by the details Micro-prose put into the game. This is the story w/Master of Orion II. They didn't mess with the chemistry of the first, and... Read Full Review

Twelve years ago, Microprose monopolized the Golden Age of strategy games. This genre of games still had a diaper on; and there weren't very much of them around anyway, besides Dune 2 and Warcraft. We had the abstract si... Read Full Review

Still nothing that compares.

I have player every top-selling RTS and TBS game for the PC and MOO2 is still, hands-down the most addictive and intuitive of them all. It is a turn based strategy title, which makes it a little slower then RTS's like wa... Read Full Review

Besides poke'mon this is the only TBS game I play.

Now that the laughter from my summary has subsided, let's get to the review. The Master of Orion franchise help define the now dead space empire game genre. But that doesn't mean that MoO II isn't a game that you'll ge... Read Full Review

This game is proof that some games remain timeless. Eight long years after Master of Orion II first premiered on store shelves, the game still has a permanent abode on my hard drive. Combining a smooth interface with ... Read Full Review
