Sega.com on Monday announced the official launch of Legacy Online - a massively multiplayer strategy game for the PC. Legacy Online places players in charge of capitalist empires and offers a persistent world where businesses operate continually. Players co-exist on one of many planets and attempt to expand their business portfolio through strategic purchases and community building. Each player begins with an initial investment of 100 million dollars to establish their company on one of the game's various planets. Successful players can strategically manipulate the entire economy and politics of their planet.

Developer Oceanus and Sega.com have included an in-game tutorial and a browser-like "Favorites" building shortcut menu as well as a streamlined system for managing supply chains of goods and services.

Legacy Online is currently available for the PC at a subscription rate of $9.95 per month. There's no initial cost to download the game - and the first two weeks are free for new subscribers.

Clawing his way in

Using Wolverine's razor-sharp claws to hack and slash through enemies consumes much of the game play, but strategy and stealth are also required to infiltrate high-security locations.

The title is divided into six "acts," each of which includes three or four levels of game play. Visually, the game is played from a cinematic "over the shoulder" third-person perspective. Wolverine travels to different parts of the world to fight enemies, solve puzzles, and collect key power-ups and other items.

Kinda pricey but it is definitely smart not to charge for the initial install. I don't understand maxis with the sims charging like $50 for the cd then charging for the game per month...

with the sims, you dont necessarily have to play online, (the $50 are development costs) and if you do go online.... someone has to pay for the people that host the online services for sims, .... (thats the $10 per month cost)

Did they steal the Simcity engine for that game?
