Personal review

I can't remember much of this game except the music was nicely atmospheric and set a fantastic mood for the game. The game itself was rather boring if you think of anything else :)

Quite unique in the sense that the game actually uses 3D space instead of 2D mapping of it, something even recent (2009) real 3D games (with polygons and all that) haven't done. The base building bit is the only part that doesn't use this.
