    The lack of truly stellar presentation isn't a big deal though, as you won't be playing Galactic Civilizations II: Endless Universe for its aesthetic qualities, you'll play for the engrossing gameplay.

    Buy GCII, and you may never need another strategy game ever again. [Dec 2008, p.64]

    Impressive in size, but the lack of multiplayer might turn some strategists off. [Issue#14, p.60]
  4. Endless Universe is a terrific package, offering a staggering amount of gameplay for the price, and even after two years from its original release, Galactic Civilizations II has lost none of its charm, depth or playability.
