Master of Orion 3 Released

Posted by michael on Wednesday February 26, 2003 @05:49AM from the master-of-the-cash-register dept.

Kintaro writes "The long awaited Master of Orion 3 is now in stores. The reviews so far have been unusually mixed, but rest assured the game is still complex - in fact that seems to be a recurring complaint among those that don't like it. And as an added bonus, the game actually runs on Linux right out of the box."

I was 'fortunate' enough to be a beta tester for this game, and I was extremely disappointed with the game. Simply put, there are fundamental issues here.

I highly recommend that people read the review at http://www.quartertothree.com

From this tester's perspective, that review is the clearest picture of what I feel is wrong with MOO3.
