Played it for about a week and didn't like it. Seemed to strip away all the features I liked about GalCiv2 and go in a direction akin to RTS games like Warcraft or Supreme Commander. Pretty linear gameplay; scout, colonize, mine, build, attack, conquer, repeat. GalCiv2 gave you so many different ways to 'slant' your empire that it was almost an RPG as much as it was a turn-based strategy. It all depends on what you like though. The pacing of those clickfest RTS games is too fast for me to learn the nuances of my units and industries and formulate effective strategies.
