Customer Reviews of Battlecruiser Millennium Gold

I personally enjoy it, but it is a very specialized game
There are a lot of people who play this game and hate it, and there is a reason for that. The nitch for this game is very narrow and people outside of its nitch will either be so frustrated with it that they give up, or simply outright hate it. <

>If you are thinking about this game you should understand that the game involves a lot of micromanagement. You WILL need to read the manual to do almost anything in the game, and there is a LOT to read up on. You end up managing almost every aspect of your craft when you play down to the individual assignments of your crew. Later on things get a little easier when your command staff get skilled enough to automatically have things done for you, but overall you will need to do everything that needs doing. <

>If you are not the type of person who is into this sort of micromanagement then stop reading this review right now. Nothing else I say will make this the game for you. Go look someplace else for something fun. <

>They arn't anything to wow at, but the game is so massive that I get the impression that making them any better would cause the game to run slowly or crash. They are decent and look good unless compaired to the best we currently have available, and that is what matters. <

>The sound is honestly a bit outdated. For some aspects reminds me of something you would hear in an older arcade type game. <

>Gameplay is very involved. It is likely that you will spend a while learning how to do anything, and even some basic operations may take you a little bit to figure out how to do in a timely manner. Once you figure out how things work the control scheme begins to make sense and you will find that overall gameplay is seamless.

Seriously, Don't
Okay, I cut my teeth playing Omnitrends Universe. Which was at the time of its release the most complicated, difficult to learn game in history. (also a totally amazing open ended space sim circa 1988). I would say that Battlecruiser follows very closely in that genera, a very indepth open ended space sim, built on technology . <

>So if you're into the genre, I mean really *into* it like willing to study and memorize the manual before you ever even install the game, willing to accept that the so called training missions are nothing of the sort (they are simply instant action missions where no one will kill you, they serve no educational purpose at all). <
> <
>Still don't buy it. <
> <
>Seriously. Because you will have problems, (I couldn't even get it to run for over 5 hours), and the president and CEO of 3000AD, (who also apparently is the head of tech support) is the rudest person I've ever had the displeasure to know. Instead of being helpful to people who are struggling to get this piece of 1990's circa technology to work . <
>I don't have a personal grudge, we've never spoken, but I encourage you to check out (http://www.3000ad.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi ) his forums to know what type of person you'll be dealing with if you ever have any kind of problem at all. The Man proudly flies this quote in his signature: <
