The maps are now three-dimensional and the combat screen offers more believable-looking ships, but these displays are iconic anyway, designed to provide easy-to-read assessment of a situation instead of a realistic representation of detail or scale.
Master of Orion 3's most rousing presentation is in its diplomacy interface, through which the player communicates with the leaders of other races. Yet despite its 3D graphics and higher resolution, it's hardly more entertaining than that of the earlier game.
Some aspects of presentation are actually less appealing in Master of Orion 3. For example, the animated scientist and spy screens that would pop up to alert the player of new technologies in Master of Orion II have been replaced with plain, boring text messages, listed among numerous other informational alerts in a by-turn "Situation Report.
For many, becoming Master of Orion the third time around will feel more like an exercise in accounting than in conquest. In spite of its mind-bending level of detail, Master of Orion 3 is not a difficult game.
In fact, it's easier to win than either of its predecessors. This is, in part, because nearly every aspect of empire management -- from research, to planetary production, to military development -- can be automated. While the turn-opening Situation Report may warn of some pending economic or technological concern, once players burrow through the interface to reach the relevant control screen, they'll often find that some AI governor has already accounted for the problem. Though impressive, this intelligent automation works against the game, as it diminishes the player's sense of purpose.
Since the AI that governs every facet of the player's domain is at least as competent as the AI steering the other races, it is conceivable that players could click right through scores of turns, and watch their empires develop at a competitive pace with virtually no hands-on interaction at all. While good AI support may be one of the game's biggest strengths, it is also at the root of its failure. By removing the need to actively govern over turn-to-turn operations, it also removes much of the player's emotional connection to the empire.
Overall, Master of Orion 3 will not completely disappoint those who long to recapture the feel of the earlier games in the series, but it could take them several hours to learn the new interface well enough to catch on to that feel. Although Master of Orion 3 offers a solid, balanced, expansive strategy contest, few gamers will be drawn to properly appreciate its theoretical concepts and their abstract consequences.
Newcomers attracted by the reputation of earlier Master of Orion games are almost sure to be mystified by the series' popularity, as they load up this version and quickly find themselves tangled in a web of impersonal data screens and esoteric sci-fi jargon.
In spite of Master of Orion 3's countless detail-oriented improvements, connoisseurs of the series may also find themselves pining for the personality of the earlier games, wishing to trade some of the new intricacy and erudition for a better sense of interaction and consequence.
So, the advice to both groups of strategy gamers is essentially the same. Neophytes who want to know for themselves what becoming the Master of Orion is really all about should look for a bargain-bin copy of Master of Orion II. In all, this third installment represents a step backwards for the series, but it somehow manages to remain playable and reasonably entertaining almost in spite of itself.
Most gaming aficionados remember the original Master of Orion and its sequel with fondness. The original titles were some of the finest turn-based simulations'true pioneers of the genre. Now Infogrames and designer Quicksilver Studios brings us the third part of this highly addictive series. Master of Orion 3 features exhaustive, dynamic space empire building, utilizing extensive military, technological, diplomatic, and colonization disciplines to forward your agenda: total galactic domination.
True, MOO3 has many interesting and worthwhile aspects, as well as a few improvements over previous titles. Diplomacy plays a greater role than previously, and computer opponents and general AI, especially when dealing with the planetary 'viceroy,'?
AI tended to make more sensible choices, and some screens made previous aspects of game control much easier. Graphics are also light-years ahead of previous MOO titles, and audio is, while somewhat sparse, well done. Also, multiplayer aspects seem to be doing well. For the most part, lag does not seem to be much of an issue, but I was unable to do a real-time battle during my online experience.
However, many aspects of MOO3 should have been scrapped at the beginning. One glaring problem is the page manual. While holding an interesting background storyline for the game, material inside is poorly organized and not extremely helpful.
Gamers unfamiliar with Master of Orion will have a hard time jumping in, especially with inadequate instructions. Many aspects of game control, once intuitive, are now more difficult to find and much less user friendly. Try finding how to raise your newly colonized planets population and you'll see what I mean. Inconsistencies abound as well.
