I bought this on Saturday while waiting for Spore to come out. I played spore about 3 hours on Sunday and switched back. ;) Fantastic game, lots of fun, its like real time MOO.

I mainly play first person shooters and RPGs (the last two games I played were Mass Effect and Crysis, which I loved) but I enjoy RTS games as well. I spent lots of time playing Empire Earth, Age of Empires 2 and 3, Dawn of War, World in Conflict, and others. After seeing so many positive reviews for this game, I went out and bought it.
As soon as I started watching the intro I knew I had made a terrible mistake. The voice-over is awful and the story was uninspiring. Then I expected to start a campaign, something with a story. Instead, when I clicked Single Player, I was presented with a list of maps to choose from. Come on, they could make a little effort to draw me into this game. I started playing the first tutorial, and between the irritating voices that acknowledge your commands and the utter dullness of watching the ships sit still firing their little lasers until one blows up, I was sure that this was not a game that I would enjoy.
I played Sins of a Solar Empire for about ten minutes, and it was ten minutes too long. Apparently there are lots of people who like this game, but if you like the kind of RTS games I mentioned above, don't waste your time with this.
 I'D RATHER BE PLAYING EMPIRE AT WAR! August 8, 2008

playing this game reminded me a little of playing SW Empire at War only worse. I quickly lost interest in this game and never finished more than a couple of levels. Maybe this game is better in Multi-player mode, but as far as single-player mode is concerned i'm gonna have to give it 2 thumbs down. Play Empire at War instead you will not be disappointed.
Stardock Changed the Rules July 17, 2008

I have supported Stardock for years now. I purchased Galactic Civilizations (2 copies), Altarian Prophecy, Galactic Civilizations 2 and Sins of the Solar Empire.
However that all ends now, since Stardock has changed course in midstream. They will no longer put out stand alone patches for the game, but now they are forcing the user to download and install Impulse to get any future content.
This method of DRM is not as bad as Spore's or MassEffect, but it still ends in control over the user. In fact Brad (owner of Stardock) basically said he does not care what others think, he is going to do what he wants.
It is now either Brad's way or the highway. My recommendation is take the highway, and stop being forced like cattle into the pens they tell you to go in to.
Take the highway, it is cheaper, less painful and you do not have a person or company dictating to you that you will download their software because they want it on your computer.
DRM is a DRM no matter how much they tell you it is not. They are now setting the rights by which you will be able to download any future content for their games.
