The graphics of the game are absolutely amazing, I love space so much and find everything about it amazing so when seeing these planets, stars and even different systems in great detail it made me very happy. After this I smashed 70 Jupiter’s into the Sun, because physics! So after speeding it up slightly I watched as the moon smashed into the earth and about 30 different fragments of the moon then flew out and either fell at different points around the Earth or flew off into space, all very impressive. For instance I set up an event of what would happen if the Moon ploughed into the Earth and viewed it in real time, which as it turns out is rather slow. The destruction in this game is very impressive, you can set up different events and also view past events that have happened.
Then one after another the rest began to explode and it was quite the site.
As I increased the mass of the sun more and more, I found that the planets got closer and closer until finally one of them exploded in quite an amazing ball of fire. This was an incredible thing to watch as I began to speed up and slow down time just so I could see this happen in real time with more detail. I noticed that as the earth got closer to the sun its Temperature started to rise and the surface of the Earth began to turn red and appeared that the surface had begun to burn away leaving only a burned out rock behind. It wasn’t just their Gravitational pull that was changed but a lot more detail is in this game than I first thought. I decided to see what would happen if I doubled the size of our sun in our solar system and it’s amazing how easy it was to do and even more amazing seeing how it affected all the planets around it. When changing a single attribute of a planet or star it will change a great deal about how the System works. Once you have clicked and focused on a certain object then you can change attributes of it such as Mass, Age, Density and also directional attributes like its Apoapsis and Periapsis…thank you Kerbal Space Programme! What I didn’t realise is that the solar system is in a very delicate state of balance. The first thing you do is get placed into your own solar system with the ability to look at all the planets or moons individually and see how they work within the solar system.
There are different things that you can do and different things you can learn. I am hard pressed to call this a game as it is more of a Space Simulator and doesn’t really have Levels or Boss fights or anything else that a game would normally have, however I think it is amazing all the same. The idea of the game is that you basically have the ability to play around with different things in a simulated solar system or more importantly with simulated gravity. Universe Sandbox 2 is a space simulation game developed and published by Giant Army.
