GameSpy has thrown together a review on Elemental Games' Strategy/RPG, Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators. With a final score of 4 1/2 stars out of 5, this one might be worth a look! Anyways, here's something to nibble on:

At its heart, Space Rangers 2 is a simplified space trading/combat simulation that places the player at the controls of a one-man spaceship and sets him or her loose on a randomly generated universe of over 100 different star systems controlled by five different races. The Space Rangers universe is under attack by the Dominators, ruthless AI-controlled war machines out to exterminate all organic life in the universe. As one of the Space Ranger elite, the player is called on to liberate the universe from the tyranny of the Dominators, eventually tracking them back to their central control center and destroying them for all time… or not. Space Rangers 2 is completely open-ended. The player may completely ignore the war and become the richest trader in the universe, or turn pirate and became the greatest menace to the space lanes. The game never tells the player what to do.
