    Finally a cool space RTS....gameplay is awesome,but the ships are a real piece of art...great design. But the real challenge is the multiplayer mode, AI is one thing but adjusting your strategy for real, live opponents....well that is quite challenging!

    I playing this game and its awesome, nothing can compare with it. The design of the ships, art, space... missions, story, and incredible multiplayer where game shows it true face. If you like something new nothing seen until now you should try this game. 8 because it has some glitches, and missions are hard, very hard!

    Great RTS... When you think you have a beat on gameplay think again! I played the beta on my lan to get used to it and then went out for some multi play and got owned... went back and totally adjusted my strategy! DO NOT BAND SELECT ATTACK.

    Bery interesting game with some brand new ideas. I am fascinated with idea that you use organic genes like weapons. Strategy aspect is in range of legendary Warcraft game.

    Genesis Rising may be fun for some but I think most people will find a little boring, especially harvesting ships. It seems like eons can pass you by while you're fuelling up.

    The gene-stealing and blood-drinking theme makes for an interesting concept with great gameplay implications. But the bottom line is that as a game, Genesis Rising sucks, both literally and figuratively.

    Genesis Rising presents many great ideas, but not enough attention was placed on unit management.
