Wow, that must have been quite a pain to create... It does look fabulous, however.

Re: A game worth playing

So it is connected to the net (should you have the internet) and will populate the world with other peoples planets? But when you 'find it' all it does is download all the data concerning the planet and then hand it over to cpu control (effectively taking it over)

Re: A game worth playing

Apparently that's what they seem to get going since he insists that it's not a 'real time' multiplayer game, or something.

I just believe the creativity and freedom level of this game is brilliant...

It seems so. It seems like the player initiates the interaction by visiting planets which have content created from other players. This basically makes it a single-player game as it means you wont ever have your own planet visited by other (more advanced) players. (if that happens, you wont notice it as it just means a copy of your current civilisation is copied to the other guys computer).

So its a pure player-vs-npc game and thinking back on several "alike" projects it sounds like it has a huge hype and initial interest factor but as a game it gets "quickly" boring

Re: A game worth playing

I liked the beginning but the higher up levels of the game seem a bit silly. For example you've got a bunch of little lizards walking around in a city you've created. Who built the city? The lizards certainly didn't; they have no opposable thumbs!

I thought the space part of it was a bit shit too.

I don't think you mean restrictive here, as sandbox games are much less restrictive than most other things. I think you mean varied interactivity (or the like).

Try playing Morrowind (or Oblivion, when it comes out in a couple of weeks).
