No difference [in gameplay] from last year's version, except in running. And even that needs more help.

It is a masterful piece of RTS gaming that will entrench those who dare to delve into it deep into the thrills of deep space combat. At first it is a little overwhelming with the ability to jump from one map to another. It is enough to lose a lot of players. But for the hardcore RTS fan this game will be a true gem.

Amazing! Just Amazing.

The graphics may be a bit lacking, and it may run a bit slow (I'd really hate to imagine a machine near the system reqs), but it's a blast.

Hardcore RTS fans will be unimpressed with EOTAs strategically-lacking and limited combat, hands-off management, and overall dull brand of gameplay.

There were a thousand things that could have gone wrong, making the gameplay experience a chore, or making it boring, but none of those things went wrong, and the gameplay is exciting and fun.

Past the technical issues and bland combat system is a universe that’s worth exploring.

Great story and intriguing plot twists, complete with graphical and aural pleasures, will keep you coming back for more.

A true measure of any great series, whether it be books, movies, or computer games, is that I always feel a sense of loss when they are over; ToB gave that to me.

Seems almost like a combination of many of the best management sims to date.

It’s solid and balanced, visually spectacular, offers a fairly easy though engaging single player campaign and skirmish mode, and is true (perhaps too true) to the common conventions of the genre.

A nice return to a classic game scenario, but is far too short and fails to bring anything new to the series. While playing Blue Shift was fun, I would compare the experience to eating Chinese food. No sooner had I finished, than I wanted more.

It's extremely fast, it's even more intense, and it has replay value to boot. What more could you ask for in an arcade racer?

The thing that makes this game good enough to warrant purchase is its clever design and game play, along with graphics that’ll have your eyes bugging out of your head.

This is by far the best Gameboy Advance game that I've played so far, and to top this would be a Herculean feat.

Super Mario Advance might be nothing more than a beefed-up port of an old game, but hell, it’s a Nintendo classic.

If trains are your bag, this is your program. There are other train simulators out there, but this is bar none the most polished, most complete, and with a company like Microsoft backing it up, likely to be the best supported of them all.

The gameplay made an attempt at doing something different, but only managed to make an already easy game even easier.

Smooth gameplay, great graphics, quick load times...it has it all.

Feels and plays like a rushed money grab - Raven is better than this and should have walked away.

Very average racer, but nothing more than that.

The voice acting is pure camp. The sad thing is that the camp gets old real fast and I was ready to ‘enforce’ that twit long before the game was over.

The fact that players must watch their units and stockpiles carefully is an extra, and welcome, dose of realism. Nothing is worse than having a mutiny on your hands or losing your structures to your enemy.

Definitely one of the more interesting governing and building game out there. It is unique in a lot of ways, and the gameplay is excellent.

Tribes 2 rocks. I have no choice but to come right out and say it.

Over the past 12 months, I have played some of the best games ever made and playing Black & White is just pure icing on the cake.

If you are a fan of the genre, history or war gaming in general then this is a must have title.

The most fun I have had in a straight shoot'em up FPS in a hell of a long time.
