Way short of the mark.
I'v played most if not all of the space combat/trade sims out there, dating back to 'Elite' on the Amiga. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I wanted to give this game a go.. It at first reminded me of Freelancer but i found the control mechanism to be unplayable beyond reason.. FL had a good control technique, as did Frontier Elite 2 along with the 'X' series, X2 the threat for example. I only managed to get about half way through, the story was engaging and decent, most of the time it was the only thing that kept me playing, despite the frustrating mission difficulty. An ambitious title that falls way short of the mark, but for any hardcore space sim fan out there, it wouldn't hurt for a few dollars. I'd reccomend checking out Elite and Elite 2, along with Freelancer and some of the X series, as they are great games, worthy to be on GOG no doubt. Also (cheesy name but) Space Rangers 2 Rise of The Dominators is a great game.. I'd put them before this title for sure
Is this helpful to you?
