SC3?

Well… I'm new.
Anyways… I just finished playing UQM. Someone was showing me SC1, and then I asked, "So… did Toys For Bob ever live up to UQM's credits and make a third one?" And what did I hear! (This was before I came to the site and saw the Petition.) Some OTHER company had made someTHING that was horrible!
But I don't want to denounce SC3 without actually playing it or doing some research. So what's it like?

Thanks.
Puppets? I was expecting that… I can't help thinking of the "Dregs and Vestiges" thing that Jim Henson did on the early SNL episodes.

One thing I keep forgetting about was that the AI in "Hyper" Melee was bad. It would _only_ run away. In fact, the developers knew this, and a note was put in the manual that you needed to hit a function key to make the enemy become agressive for a short period.

I tried to get into it, but I just couldn't. The navigation system confused me. I often ran out of fuel before the game even started. Probably one of the worst games I have ever played, unless there are worse ones I'm blocking out with my mind. On my personal rating, I give it the following score.
Gameplay: 0 - Zomg, wtf is going on?
Storyline: 0 - Zomg, wtf is going on? (again)
Graphics: 0 .5 - Zomg, wtf is going on? (a third time) And why are Spathi beige? What does the colony colours mean?
Sound: 0 - Zomg, I know what's going on. Suckitude.
Originality: 0.5 - It's got something good going for it. But in the end, it doesn't.
Total Points: 1/5.
Compared to SC2 which gets a 5/5 on my same scale, which is difficult to pull off, since I like to toss around 0.5s. SC3, the very symbol of which fills me with rage upon seeing the C connected to the 3 in such an awful combination. Yarrgh! I cannot stand it anymore, I must immediately escape the madness found within the hallowed halls of my mind as it continues to envision SC3. God, there's that C and 3 combo again, I can't take it anymore!
In short, SC3 really, really, really sucks. And I like everything.

purple spathi.....why?!?
1º- let intorduce-me: Hi my name is Nasa1733 but if u like call me Nasa1733_kun, im portuguese, and i like PC's, Consoles, Spore, SC2, UQM and moding  . Now what am i forgeting... oh that : I have a webpage and a bloger visite them at: Webpage: http://www.tugagames.webtuga.net/ (Portuguese, but in beta a English language will be soon there) Blog: http://www.mundialinfo.blogzet.com/ (Portuguese) 2º- I was thinking for what reson the spathi is purple and my respost was(Remember this): That they canot do the original spathi (whit claws like a clam) so they do that guy. Now the reson that he is pink is simple: Because (you imagine now ) that guy if he was multi-color (Like the original) he where like a hippy. So they do this reson 
Kill hippies!!! They tell that they want to save Earth, but only thing they do is smock crack and lissen rock and roll...

Thanks for the good news Aya! 
The differences in style make this even worse. SC2's music made itself noticed, while SC3 has Legend's usual atmospheric background stuff that isn't annoying when you hear it for the 30th time but you don't really remember it afterwards. The puppets and idiotic isometric combat view (which is, thankfully, easily turned off) must be something dreamed up by Accolade management, because I don't Legend ever did anything like that before.
On the other hand, I think the fan outrage would have been even worse if SC3 would have been like this:
You are in the control room of your Precursor vessel. You see a control panel in front of you with an attached chair. Exits lead aft and down.
DOWN
You sit down at the control panel. The jury-rigged Earthling-size chair creaks slightly, but holds your weight.
EXAMINE CONTROL PANEL
The control panel contains a comms viewscreen, a navigation screen, a combat screen and a logistics screen.
EXAMINE COMMS VIEWSCREEN
Your comms viewscreen shows a hysterically pleading Spathi flailing its claws wildly. It also contains a TRANSMIT and a DISCONNECT button, labelled in Precursor.
LISTEN
The Spathi whines: "Oh God...Please don't let me die today! Tomorrow would be so much better!". Your drinking glass resonates ominously.
TALK TO SPATHI
What do you want to say to the Spathi?
ASK SPATHI TO CALM DOWN
He can't hear you, you're not transmitting!
TRANSMIT
That sentence doesn't make any sense.
PRESS TRANSMIT BUTTON
You press the TRANSMIT button. It changes colour from red to yellow.
ASK SPATHI TO CALM DOWN
The Spathi says: "I don't know what you're talking about, hunam.". The Spathi continues to gesture wildly and scream.
TELL SPATHI TO CHILL OUT
Could you please rephrase that?
RELAX, SPATHI
I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.
RELAX
There is no time to relax, you have a galaxy to save!
QUIT
Are you really sure you want to quit?
Y
Could you please rephrase that?
