Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

The controls are far from great, but it's a neat game to play. Someone wrote in his/hers review that it's more of a puzzle game than strategy, and I agree. If you pick the wrong setup, you will be punished. Key is to choose the right tools for the task, but before the mission it's usually hard to guess what's gonna work. So expect a lot of restarting until you find a proper approach. Music is awesome!

A very important thing to know about this game is that it is basically impossible to finish on the highest difficulty level because of a screwed up difficulty curve that was never fixed. Play on the level below highest, and its the greatest fleet combat game EVER made.

I love this game.It has a good storyline, amazing graphics, engaging gameplay and is a "different" kind of game. It isn't a remake of anything else, it is unique unto itself. The problem is that the as the game progresses, instead of getting more fun to play, it is less fun. The addition of shields and so many specialized kinds of weapons becomes a distraction. The missions get very complex and it seems difficult just for the sake of being difficult. I keep playing because I want to experience the story.

Nexus is a great game in terms of space combat. Gorgeous effects and ship design. Even the sight of a ship exploding is gorgeous. HOwever, the real down side of the game is the speed of the campaign missions. There's no way of speeding up your time or pausing it so you must endure the real time speed of events and combat. That being said, the game is still a gorgeous title too play.

I had this when it first came out, and then it was great. even now I think the graphics hols up, even better than some games now, but this isn't a hold your hand cake walk. some missions unless your very lucky you will have to do again and again till you find the sweet spot. highly recommend it,
