I played the demo. It's alright - the aliens and their interactions are definitely interesting.

It's basically like Roller Coaster Tycoon - where you try to please the people. There is also a series of missions where there is one objective (build a hospital thingy).

i've played it. it's pretty easy but fun for at least a few hours minimum(i played it about 15hrs). it doesn't really have much replayability since it's so easy. i think it has multiplayer too but i never tried that. the single player missions are really just a bunch of extended tutorial missions to teach you how to play the game, but they are fairly fun. there is also a sandbox mode, but like i said it's very easy after you've beaten all the single player missions. potentially if you went straight to sandbox you could probably figure the game out but you'll have much more fun and a longer experience if you do all the single player missions. this game could have been much better if they had changed a few things imo.
