4 + 2	Mechante_Anemone	Sci-fi Week: Burning Empires. Burning Empires is a lavishly illustrated brick, chock-full of rules, that will appeal to those who like very crunchy games. [ Read Review ]
5 + 5	C.W.Richeson	Sci-Fi Week: Burning Empires. Burning Empires brings to the table a tactical system that brilliantly supports both the game and descriptive elements of RPGs.

2 / 10	Zachary The First	Disliked the setting, and the BW mechanics do not shine here. As much as I loved BW, I find this game a jumble of counter-intuitive rules that don't mesh with the presented setting. A letdown after BW.
10 / 10	Kaare Berg	A tough hardcore game that is still accesible to the unconverted. A game that blends action at the macro scale of the campaign with the micro scale of character to character interaction.
