Very Highly Recommended

I love the quick game style. It's great for when I'm working and need a little break. You can't take a little break for Oblivion or WoW or Halo, it just doesn't work. Games like SAIS provide a satisfying experience, tailorable to your time availability.

The best thing about SAIG is that it stays fresh. I've always got new heights to top, or nuances to discover. The one-two punch of the galactic map for strategy and then the ship combat for tactics and light twitch is a killer combo. It keeps you on your toes and interested in playing.

Seriously, check out the demo. It's a far cry from the complete game, but it'll give you a feel.
