The game might not be epic in any way, but as it turns out my review at RPGWatch is ... the game is an action-RPG in the tradition of the companies previous Dungeon Siege efforts. So how does the team that last checked in with Supreme Commander handle the transition to making an action-RPG in space. You can check it out the full review here.
When I first started playing Space Siege, about a half-hour into the game, there is a small part where you are dealing with an onslaught of generic alien creatures you have to destroy. It was most memorable to me because everyone else in the house was finally ready to watch a movie together and the game decided that I couldn't save right then. After dealing with the waves of attacking aliens and getting to the escape transport, I was able to reflect on some other things from my first time playing this game while watching the previews before the movie. There were a bunch of different thoughts that came to me pretty quickly. Unfortunately, most of what went through my mind wasn't all that complimentary, and subsequent playtime did little to improve my opinion.
