from Sins Forums
Another AU review site. Boy when Sins goes on sale retail it should look good downunder in OZ. Some highlights are:


Graphics:
Fantastically atmospheric when zoomed in close, clear and informative when pulled back.
8.0
Sound:
Lots of solid booms and thuds when you need them.
9.5
Gameplay:
Simply brilliant. Addictive, compulsive, engaging and a great illustration of everything that strategy gaming should be.
9.0
Lifespan:
You might as well nail it to your hard drive, because it's not going anywhere. Endlessly replayable with the promise of many official updates and user-created mods in the future.
9.0
Overall:
Bold, ambitious game design sometime pays off. Sins of a Solar Empire is a resounding success and the best sci-fi strategy game currently available.

Sins of a Solar Empire is a big, audacious game that succeeds so profoundly that it deserves to be on every strategy gamer's PC, and warrants attention from those who might ordinarily run a mile from real-time or turn-based gaming. It's a wee bit early to be declaring PC Strategy Game of the Year, particularly since Starcraft 2 is waiting in the wings, but it speaks volumes that Blizzard's monster is going to have to be something really special if it wants to be anything other than second best in 2008.


Quoted for truth/massive awesomeness!

Yeah. I figured holding it up to SC2 and then boldly claiming SC2 better have some major chops to be #1 has got to be a quote worth putting on the next box art update as well as on the website.
