Space Colony Computer Game - Reviews
 Game Zone Review · Rating: 8.3/10
Space Colony is a fun title that mixes various styles of strategy to create a unique experience. The lighthearted look at sci-fi makes for a light atmosphere that, unlike many sci-fi titles today, goes easy on the killing and wanton destruction. While the gameplay does have a few shortcomings, this is a game that sci-fi strategy fans might want to check out. (Read Complete Review)
GameSpy Review · Rating: 4/5
"Save the Colony!" That's the rallying cry for Space Colony, a goofy and dazzlingly original game from Firefly Studios. A mind-bending mesh of a Sims-like lifestyle simulator and a space base-building RTS like StarCraft, Space Colony gets its power from glorious ingenuity. Not everything works in this trailblazing title, but there's plenty to love. (Read Complete Review)

BoomTown Review · Rating: 7/10

PC Gameworld Review · Rating: 91%
Consider this a solid building game with a bit of The Sims sprinkled on top. No element gets in the way of the others, and I guarantee you won't breeze through this game effortlessly. It is difficult, but not abstractly so. You always know what you need to do, it's just a matter of prioritizing in order to get it done right. (Read Complete Review)
G4 Videogame TV Review · Rating: 4/5
"Space Colony" is a wacky, entertaining, and occasionally frustrating game that mixes elements of city building and real-time strategy. It's also a game with a lot of personality... a lot of personalities, actually.... This is really a nice game that continues to surprise and delight the more you play. There are a lot of big name titles being released right now. Don't let this little gem fall by the wayside.
