In Rebellion, Ironclad Games legitimately buffs up Sins of a Solar Empire's graphical engine, enhancing visual effects and allowing for more stuff to happen smoothly on the screen at once. Still, this is a multiplayer-focused game, so (despite some tantalizing, story-driven cutscenes), the lack of a campaign is no huge letdown. Unfortunately, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, the new standalone expansion for the game, doesn't add a campaign - although it does still allow for players to skirmish against the AI, a prospect made alternatively too easy or too hard to be fun by the game's difficulty settings. It did have one glaring weakness, however: lack of a single-player campaign mode. It's so well balanced, its interface so intuitive and brilliant, its scope so sweeping, its production values so high, and its gameplay a perfect balance of challenge and fun, that it simply leaves every other RTS wallowing in the primordial slime of creation – at least insofar as multiplayer is concerned.
Sins of a Solar Empire is my favorite multiplayer real-time strategy game.
