    The graphic is COOL. Well thats all :)) nothing more. I am not fan of space strategies. Yeah and one more thing under Win98 this game just dont want to run because CD is named O.R.B and Win98 just dont recognize dots, so U can play only on XP or 2000.

    Good visuals don't make up for mediocre gameplay and horrible controls.

    Graphics aside, the final nail in O.R.B.'s coffin is its pace. Ships crawl across the screen, and even at triple speed (as fast as it gets), it seems to take an eternity for anything to navigate the map. [Mar 2003, p.86]

    Even with the weak campaign, O.R.B.'s compelling and interestingly paced skirmish mode more than make up for it.
