Awesome battles, very fun to see the ships go head to head in epic exchanges of fire that will take you back to the great moments of the TV series. Sound effects are perfect. The game has surprised me with it's design and depth. I love the chess-board feel of the campaign map that allows you to build fleets and deploy them throughout the colonies as Cylon attack forces hit unexpected areas and force you to defend the colonies with multiple ship groups. The technology progression is exciting, and you look forward to your next unlocks. I also like that you can promote officers within your fleets and give them traits. This is all depth I was not expecting from what seems like a fairly low budget tribute to the recent series. I wish they would have hired better voice actors, the character are pretty thin and the story so far is unimpressive. They missed a big opportunity for some amazing story telling to compliment some great tactical game play. It would have been so sweet if they could do some live-action cut scenes, even if they didn't have original cast members it would have been incredible. The turn-based format is great, but the turns sometimes feel a bit short which pull you out of the action. In big battles this probably helps because things can go sideways fast. The music is also great and fits right in to the series while being original to this game. I'm looking forward to progressing along and seeing what they did with the DLC content, but would definitely recommend a buy for those that loved the show. You won't be disappointed in the game play.
