I didn't play this game until 2012 and it's my favourite shooter to date, probably the only shooter/FPS that I've played over and over again after I've finished. Perfect pacing, graphics that still hold up pretty well, great story that unfolds before your eyes and excellent gunplay. Love it.

Conquer territory, overthrow leaders, start a holy war, kill your children, learn to fly, sleep with your sister and get assassinated by your mother via manure bomb! Best strategy game out there, I don't think I will ever tire of this game. I paid $40 for the game and have 734 hours logged on, that's like 5 cents an hour, I can't recommend this game highly enough.

Fickle, fickle people, the game is exceptional, It's a Total War game, of course it's going to have bugs, they're no where near as bad as you people are making them out to be.

Gunplay is fun, controls are responsive, the art direction is engrossing, the enemies are original, the characters are intricate, the story is deep and the powers are fun, it's pretty much everything you could want in a run and gun shooter/adventure game. Pretty close to perfect, very reminiscent of Half-life 2 in how well realized the world and the characters are. Game of the year so far.

Despite the rather well done cinematics, the game failed miserably in the gameplay department and rife with bugs. The gameplay problems start with silly design decisions such as to make your own ship unable to move cargo itself, requiring you to hire cargo ships, turning every cargo run into an escort mission. Enemy pilots repeat the same phrase over and over again and again, simultaneously if there are more than one. I guess my main gripe with the game was it's lack of scale, for a space sim, it felt very claustrophobic, with few planets to visit. This is a shadow of the original Privateer, a game with scale, scope and immersion I had never seen before, it really drew you in. It gets points for it's exquisite art direction, acting talent and visuals.

Quite simply the best CRPG ever made, Bioware at their best. Exceptional gameplay, story, content, art design and voice acting. Long, long campaign filled with interesting characters and side quests. As close to perfect as gaming gets.

The last true simcity to be made. The epic culmination of the games that came before it, presented with perfect, goal driven gameplay, a steep learning curve that screamed out accomplishment! when you overcame it, so many hours, so much creativity to be had, easily moddable, one of the top 5 games ever made.

Everything good about the simcity games removed and replaced with an unplayable multiplayer. No deep simulation, the best road layout is 1 snaking road with no intersections, glassbox is just a big cop out to produce a half arsed game. R.I.P Simcity.
