The concept and early information for the game sounded great, even the preview movies and imagery was impressive. Yet, now that I have the game I am severely disappointed.
The game has the feel of mid 90's vintage game design and play. The instructions are lacking and the in-game trainer fails to provide a necessary experience. Obvious functions for the game seem to be missing; when on a mission it is sometimes unclear what you are supposed to do, and there seems to be no help. It's just awkward and strange. Game play is very slow in my view; and the AI you talk with during the game is a motormouth, most of the game seems to be just chat about nothing - the "story" of the game, which itself is quite boring. It's possible you will become frustrated trying to skip through the chit chat to find any real action, and surrender to the game before you play it.
Graphics for the space scenes are great, though I have not yet experienced the great scenes shown in the previews. The ships in the game are a few pixels, not full screen like suggested - perhaps I am missing something.
For a game released in 2008, they forgot to design it for widescreen monitors, though they do allow many 4:3 screen sizes.
Normally I would not be so negative, but this game really bugged me, so much potential in the game, and it was horribly executed. Maybe they will redo it proper!
Bottom line, skip this game and you will be happier for it! Truly too bad, so little is needed to make this a good game, but they clearly missed the mark.
