    This game is awesome. I fully reccomend it. You begin with $100,000,000 (100 million dollars) to build an empire on a planet of your choice. You will find a nice tutorial waiting for you. It will suggest different things depending on the planet's status. Afterwords, you should talk to players, this will help you greatly, as I did not in Aries, an old beta planet. I didn't know This game is awesome. I fully reccomend it. You begin with $100,000,000 (100 million dollars) to build an empire on a planet of your choice. You will find a nice tutorial waiting for you. It will suggest different things depending on the planet's status. Afterwords, you should talk to players, this will help you greatly, as I did not in Aries, an old beta planet. I didn't know many of the little things that could make you big money. I almost ran bankrupt many times, so I do suggest that you talk to players and ask them for major or minor tips and any questions you may have. Play continues as you research itens to raise desirability/efficiency of your stores/residential, same for quality in industry. I reccomend Chipango and the city Koriyama as a good starting point. Although any place anywhere is good.… Expand

    This is one of the coolest MMOGs out there today. Very deep and engaging gameplay--highly addictive! It takes a few minutes to get the basics down, but after that there are endless things to try and tweak and experiment with. Each player starts a company or companies and tries to corner the market on whatever they make or sell. You can open bars, bookstores, pharmacies, build real estate, This is one of the coolest MMOGs out there today. Very deep and engaging gameplay--highly addictive! It takes a few minutes to get the basics down, but after that there are endless things to try and tweak and experiment with. Each player starts a company or companies and tries to corner the market on whatever they make or sell. You can open bars, bookstores, pharmacies, build real estate, and even eventually try to get elected to an office such as mayor. Although your companies still keep going while you're logged off, I find it very tempting to keep peaking at it to see how I'm doing. It's a very original and fascinating concept for an online game, and I highly recommend it to fans of strategy games of all sorts. … Expand

    One of the most overlooked and underrated simulation games of the year. Players receive $100 million with which to start their financial empire on an alien planet. It's savvy plus problem-solving and deal-making skills versus the forces of capitalism. At the beginner level, players can go bankrupt, easily get loans, or simply start over from scratch with a full bank account as many One of the most overlooked and underrated simulation games of the year. Players receive $100 million with which to start their financial empire on an alien planet. It's savvy plus problem-solving and deal-making skills versus the forces of capitalism. At the beginner level, players can go bankrupt, easily get loans, or simply start over from scratch with a full bank account as many times as they need to. Each level carries more handicaps, challenges and responsibilities as the player works toward building a legendary empire. Not the game for graphics and sound junkies, but a must-play for anyone who enjoys evolving a strategy and applying a large chunk of grey matter to excelling in a complex simulated world. … Expand

    Although Legacy Online does adequately create an experience that can survive offline while being challenging and rewarding when online, the basis for the game isn’t going to appeal to a broad audience.

    Balanced well for casual players who don't want to make large time commitments to the game, yet it's this same balance that ultimately keeps the game from being truly compelling at this point in time.

    The connection to other players is too abstract to make the game anything more than a vaguely interesting and simple business simulation. [Oct 2003, p.92]
