Sega's Legacy Online MMO Rated

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Stratics.com review discussing Sega's PC MMO strategy title, Legacy Online. This recently launched title is an intriguing online city-based business sim, with futuristic urban visuals reminiscent of the recent Sim City games, and the reviewer recommends the title, formerly known as Star Peace, as good "..for any hard-core competitor who thinks it's cool to engage in cut-throat business dealings, and who is tired of the rudimentary hack-and-slash that most massively multiplayer titles base their businesses on."

Netropolis

Sounds similiar to a game called Netropolis II which was running under a previous version back in '96.

Netropolis description:

Netropolis is an online multi-player strategy game where you match your wits as a corporate gangster/tycoon against other real people. Buy some land, set up a few businesses and watch the money roll in. Easy, right? Not in Netropolis.

Legacy description:

A must play for any hard-core competitor who thinks it's cool to engage in cut-throat business dealings and who is tired of the rudimentary hack-and-slash that most massively multiplayer titles base their businesses on.

Article on Star Peace/ Legacy Online's development

Earlier this year, we ran an article about the game and some of the pitfalls and hurdles Legacy Online's developer, Ottawa's Oceanus Communications, faced to put the game out. It's an interesting little team composed of an Italian theoretical astrophysicist, a former Nortel employee, and a team of Cuban developers.
