Some more reviews of Galactic Civilizations II have arrived.

GamePlasma's review is up.

They sum up with the question:

I can only think of one last question to ask "Is it better then Civilization 4?" In my opinion it’s a dead heat based on you’re preference to dominate space or to dominate the planet.

GameDaily has their review of Galactic Civilizations II up as well.

Their summary:

This empire-building strategy encompasses everything that makes the genre great. If you are looking for a game that falls in the same vein as the Civilization and Master of Orion series, and absolutely bursting with content, this is the game to get. Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords is great technologically and also in gameplay.

More to come...
